Problem/Motivation

Currently there is no simple way on adding a download link in a views overview.

Proposed resolution

Add a views field to add a "Download file" link.

Hm, wondering if an entity operation would be equally/more useful, then it would automatically appear in all existing operations fields? What's the use case for a standalone download link?

Problem of that is that we'd want to check if it makes sense for a given type, but currently there's no per-bundle setting for that. Mh...

I added a link cfr. \Drupal\views\Plugin\views\field\EntityLinkEdit.

I had a case where I needed to make the media library available for all users. Which resulted in an overview of all media items with a download link.

This should be in the module. We have been successfully using it for month. Correctly constructed.

Works for me. A suggestion is to extend from EntityLink rather than LinkBase to add the options 'Output URL as text' and 'Use absolute URL'. Patch and interdiff attcahed.
