FileChooserNative to choose filename instead of the file itself

I’m using flatpak. Is there a way I could use FileChooserNative widget or the file chooser portal to get the original file path (as is on the host system) of a selected file instead of getting a proxy file like $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/doc/xxxxxxxx/basename.ext?

Hello!

I believe not, currently. See Get real path from FileChooser portal · Issue #788 · flatpak/xdg-desktop-portal · GitHub and https://www.reddit.com/r/GTK/comments/ruaicv/flatpak_real_path/ for possible workarounds.
