You could start looking in the linkedFilesFilesEditorViewModel there is a metho for fetching fulltext.
And otherwise I agree with @tobiasdiez it makes sense to have the same behavior in the entry editor next ot the file field and in the menu.

And the action from the menu is probably the "FindFullTextAction" class.

When a fulltext document was found, then it should be downloaded to the default file directory and linked to the entry without showing a dialog as an intermediate step, similarily to how it works when the same action is triggered from the button next to the file field in the entry editor.

But there is a button to select other folder and it doesn't work.
I think it's not an important bug but I report it.

I'd like to start on this one, @tobiasdiez. Any tips on where to look first?

Thanks to @nmancus1 this should be fixed in the latest development version. Could you please check the build from http://builds.jabref.org/master/. Thanks! Please remember to make a backup of your library before trying-out this version.
