Updating "deferred feedback with explanation" plug-in input box

Updating "deferred feedback with explanation" plug-in input box

Hello,

I'm currently using Moodle for a school project, I am to set up a sample English-Math quiz where each question (of various types) will have its own explanation box that can accept various types of input from students - text, drawing, image files, .doc and .xls files.

The first 2 cases can be managed with existing plug-ins (the original 'deferredfeedbackwithexplanation' and Sketch), however, I have difficulty with the later 3 cases where students have to upload file by link (in the case of Image files) or can't upload at all (.doc and .xls).

I'm currently using Moodle 3.11.4, and I noticed that the input box from the 'Essay' type question has the capability to directly upload files from the system. Is there any way I could 'bring' that input box functionality into the plug-in input box?  

Thank you in advance.

It would require some development, but it could be done. ... I think. I am just wondering whether making it possible would require a small change in Moodle core code. Question types have a get_response_file_areas method, which is needed to make this work fully, and I don't think that is available to behaviours.
