IMAGE-BASED FILE AND MEDIA LOADING

Disclosed herein are various embodiments for an augmented reality contextual menu system. An embodiment operates by receiving a request to open a file from a user. A social media channel associated with the user is identified, wherein the social media channel includes shared media. A graphical social icon representing the social media channel is generated based on the shared media. A plurality of icons, including the graphical social icon, are displayed responsive to the request. A selection of the graphical social icon causes at least a portion of the social media channel to be rendered with a computing workspace.
