I would like Matrix contacts to be shown in the Direct Share menu like they are when using the old Element app so that the new app does not lack functionality that the old app provides.
Why would you like to do it?
Because it makes sharing files faster and simpler. It also boosts the odds that Element is used for instant messaging rather than other apps that have this functionality.

I only know that the old Element app does achieve it, not how. But maybe someone knows how the old app does it? This might be of help as well: https://developer.android.com/training/sharing/direct-share-targets
