1) I can confirm the same issue on MacOS 12.1 Monterey.

2) I discovered - sort of - a workaround: Drag and Drop. Instead of 
using "Open With" (or double clicking the file), in the Finder window, 
simply drag the file above a wind of XXE, and drop it there. Voila. It 
will open in a new tab in a window of XXE.

(And, if instead of a file, you drag a folder, the content of that 
folder will open in XXE’s file browser. From there you can open files by 
doubleclicking them.)
