Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but this appears to be a "regular" (non-security) bug. I have unmarked it as a security issue since this bug does not show evidence of allowing attackers to cross privilege boundaries nor directly cause loss of data/privacy. Please feel free to report any other bugs you may find.

I agree. Many use NAS or file servers today and this should be a basic functionality.

I just tested Xubuntu Bionic and found that SMB sources are available if they have already been mounted in the file manager. libreoffice-gtk is installed and libreoffice-gnome is not.

Correction. The files are browseable with libreoffice-gtk but cannot be opened. They can in fact be opened with libreoffice-gnome.

This bug was fixed in the package xubuntu-meta - 2.225

---------------
xubuntu-meta (2.225) bionic; urgency=medium

  * Refreshed dependencies
  * Added libreoffice-gnome to desktop-recommends [amd64 arm64 i386
    ppc64el s390x]
    - Enables editing files accessed with gvfs (LP: #1689008)
    - Pulls libreoffice-gtk3 which is graphically similar to
      libreoffice-gtk2 but better supported (LP: #1762569)
  * Removed libreoffice-gtk from desktop-recommends [amd64 arm64 i386
    ppc64el s390x]
