How to export document at the record level from document designer

Ok I like the idea of the Document Designer on the table level - but I can't for the life of me figure out how to now EXPORT a document at the record level aside from

  1. Going to the document designer selection

  2. Then flipping through the little arrows a million times until I reach the desired record I want to export or searching for the record and exporting it like that

Is this the right way to be doing this?

Ideally, I would have access to exporting these created documents at the record level. Because it adds so much friction to follow this process:

  1. Be working on/in a record

  2. Realize I need to export that record as a designed document

  3. Click out of the record

  4. Go to the document designer at the table level

  5. Search for the record I just x'd out of

  6. Then export it

Heres two places where I'd like to see it ideally!

That or even better - allow me to export as an ACTION so that its available via automations and buttons. In the example use case I could also imagine the document designer as a FIELD TYPE, so that I could always have, on demand, access to invocies, etc relevant to records that can be manually downloaded or accessed and shared via automations!

Example use case:

I realize I want to send an invoice to a client. I already have an automation set up that, when a yes/no field is checked, an automation triggers that sends an email to a client with an invoice. The invoice is created using the document designer
