Description
### What is the problem or limitation you are having?
Hi, thank you for this great project! I am currently working on a project where I need to upload and download files via the WebView. I am use Flask as the backend and serve the web pages via the WebView.
### Describe the solution you'd like
The solution would be just like it functions in a normal web browser i.e. clicking on a download link should download the file in the Downloads folder. For uploading a file, it should open up the file picker and allow the user to choose a file.
### Describe alternatives you've considered

Research direction
Start by locating the Android and iOS WebView entry points and checking how the existing WebView serves pages from the Flask backend. Compare current behavior with the requested browser-like file picker, upload, and Downloads-folder flows; done means both platforms support those flows, with platform-specific behavior verified.
