Issue description

After the Quick Open panel change at some point in 4.4 I think, I can no longer multiple select different files to open, for example 'Quick Open Scripts', I used to be able to hold Shift or Control and select several files and then they'd all open.
With this new panel it no longer works, it just opens the one I click on:

Research direction

Reproduce the issue from Scene -> Quick Open Script on the reported Windows 10 Vulkan setup, using the provided Godot 4.4.dev.custom_build version. Inspect the Quick Open panel's selection behavior and verify that selecting several files with Shift or Control opens all of them rather than only the clicked file.
