To elaborate a bit more on what happens: when trying to download a file
that no installed application knows how to handle, the user is presented
with a message from the content hub saying exactly that, and a cancel
button. The user is not allowed to download a random file with no
associated application.

I don’t know what the proper solution to this problem is. Maybe make the
file manager app able to handle any file type by default?
