Feature request

The idea is that from the avatar menu you can directly start a call with the person without having to go to Talk first.
The call should be floating (similar to old school facebook chats) on top of the app, with an option to minimize:

When navigating to a different app the call should be re-established asap (perfect would be no interruption with a single page app)

Shortest path I see would be to decouple FilesSidebarCallViewApp from:

• relying on fileInfo
• injecting styles in sidebar

• Is it always only 1-1? Can another person join the call?
• Is it a general 1-1, so users see all the history in Talk in the corresponding 1-1
• IF there were a way to jump from a web-page to a client (desktop/mobile), would it be an alternative, or an addition?
• Does it have to be inside the same web-page, and not in a new floating window?
• What should happen when navigating to Talk with an ongoing call?
