We already have xdg-desktop-portal, which allows applications to use
the preferred file chooser of the desktop environment. Most modern apps
already support that, since it is a requirement for filesystem
sandboxing in Flatpak, either by default through toolkit (e.g.
GtkFileChooserNative) or at least have an option to enable it (e.g.
Firefox's `GTK_USE_PORTAL`).

There are two major implementations: xdg-desktop-portal-gtk and xdg-
desktop-portal-kde or you can roll your own if you are unhappy with
either.
