#' @param download_type Element being downloaded. Expected to be along the
#' lines of "underlying data", "table", "current data view". Default is "table"
#' @param file_types File formats to offer, can be any combination of
#' "CSV", "XLSX", "ODS". Default is a vector of all 3
#' @param file_sizes Estimated file sizes for each file format. This needs to
#' be a vector of the same length as file_types
#' @param small Set radio buttons to small size (logical, default: FALSE)
