I'm no Windows user. I'm fixing VCL bugs on any platform, if needed, but really
can't say much about user experience. If these "jump lists" are the way Windows
handles recent documents nowadays and it works with LO, we're fine.

So I searched for "Windows UWP" and now I know it's the acronym for "Universal
Windows Platform". No idea how that would fit in here, but probably also needs
an extra bug report, if we have to make changes to be UWP-compatible (if that
even exists).

We have to rely on the OS support here. So if we miss an opportunity here, I
would like to get it documented, so someone can implement it, eventually.

If it's possible to add these "jump lists" as a submenu, then I don't have any
objections about adding the "jump lists" to the right click menu of the icon or
as a File menu entry.

> 2 - There  is an option to pin documents to a list of pinned documents

That is a completely different enhancement request. I don't know if any OS
offers support for this in the context of recent document handling (or even
outside), but I guess that would need some LO-only implementation, to save a
"pinned documents" list. I don't think these could be available as part of the
recent file lists. Should be handled in an extra bug report IMHO.
