A series of patches implementing this is now in Gerrit, s.
https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/112769 and its parent changes.

I only quickly tested with Nextcloud and opening, editing and saving back files
worked. When the connection to the Nextcloud server does not work properly
(e.g. due to network issues,...), the app might "hang" for a while (but I
didn't do any closer testing so far), which is one of the aspects that could
probably be improved further if necessary (and somebody has the time +
motivation to work on it).
