Be able to add a shortcut to a PDF document on home screen
Summary
We use more and more documents that we save in PDF on our phone: a train ticket, a document with a QR code. Sometimes it is easier than having a native app and connecting to the web to retrieve this document online.
Often we need to find access to these documents very quickly and without network. Unless we know exactly where the document is located on our phone storage, it can become a complex task to locate the document. Having the option to create a home screen link to a specific PDF document would make things very easy. It could be done the same way as we create shortcuts to webpages on the home screen

Examples
I travel by train.
I have purchased my train ticket on oui.sncf
I don't have the oui.sncf app on my phone as I don't need it and don't want it installed.
I have downloaded the PDFs of my train tickets on my phone.
During my journey, I will have to show my tickets to the train manager so he can check I have the right ticket for this journey.
As I have a shortcut on my home screen to my train tickets pdf, I'm confident I can retrieve my train tickets in 2 seconds.
