What would be nice - i think- would be the ability to save a shortcut to a flow on screen, so it can be accessed directly? ( starting automate and starting that flow - not asking for stand-alone flows).

I did see the option to share a flow, but clicking that file and choosing to open as 'automate' or 'flow' does not open the flow; in case 1 it just opens automate, with the 2nd option a nameless empty flow is shown ("couldn't be read").

Hope it's possibble, Thanks in advance!

You can already create a shortcut to start a flow, either click the "Install home screen shortcut" button in a Flow beginning block or long-click the home screen then select Widgets/shortcut, Automate flow.
.flo files can't be edited directly, they have to be imported first, see menu on flow list screen.
