Description

`admin:///` protocol allows editing as root from GUI applications.

A file using such protocol can't be opened from the Open File dialogue:
1. Type Ctrl + L in Open File.
2. Type e.g. `admin:///etc/fstab`.
3. There is a permission prompt.
4. Open File dialogue now shows files in Administrative Root, but clicking Open on them does nothing.

`flatpak run org.gnome.TextEditor admin:///etc/fstab` works as expected.

Non-Flatpak version of Text Editor does support opening `admin:///` files graphically.

Tested on the latest Silverblue.
