[Bug 1694129] Re: Cannot attach Network Shares in Thunderbird

I used to work amount this with a symbolic from Desktop to

 /run/user/${userid}/gvfs/smb-
share:server=${servername},share=${sharename}

Now that doesn't work either.

After attaching the file, you can still double click on it, in the open
draft. That opens fine. But when trying to send the message, thunderbird
complains that it can't attache the file.

Copying the file to Desktop first works fine. Also, if the symbolic link
is from local, to local, then it works. so the symbolic link does not
appear to be the issue.

Using Thunderbird 60.4 on Unbuntu 18.04

I think the symbolic link workaround stopped working after I upgraded
from Ubuntu 16.04 to 18.04

18.04 does "add a feature though". It does show the "+ Other locations"
entry in left panel of the "attach files" dialog. However, when using
that the same thing happens, it fails. See attached screenshots.
