Hello

For several reasons, I use the Web Dialog block to display websites for reporting purposes. However, currently, the file selection feature on websites opened via Web Dialog does not work. When I click the file upload button (e.g., <input type="file">), nothing happens. I’ve read that this issue can be resolved by overriding the file chooser in Java or Kotlin code, but I don’t have access to that level of customization.

Yes, I could use an external browser to upload files, but I still need to use Web Dialog for specific reasons. For example, I need to ensure that the main application remains open and active while the web interface is displayed. If I switch to another app or browser, the original application may close automatically. This is especially important when using floating windows or multitasking features, which Web Dialog supports better than external browsers.

Unfortunately, I can't use floating web browsers due to system limitations, so I rely on Web Dialog to keep everything running smoothly within the same environment.

I'll consider it, added to the to-do list.
