Description
I noticed that the "Files" app included with my ROM can access the data some specific apps which have public storage. Namely in my case, the home of my Termux install. Of course, with Amaze I could dig down to the location of that storage using the root file manager option and add a shortcut to it, but it would be cool if Amaze could use the same methods as my stock Files app to get apps that have a public storage like that and display them. Does anyone know how this feature works or if it would even be possible to implement it in Amaze?

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are identified. First investigate how the stock Android Files app discovers application public storage and how Amaze currently handles storage access. Done would require a defined, feasible approach for displaying or linking supported app storage locations in Amaze.
