When I create a file that contains LF:
```
echo aaa > "$(printf 'aa\nbb')"
```
I can not use FZF to open it.
One of the workaround that I've found is to use `:edit **/*` instead of FZF

Research direction
Reproduce the issue with the provided shell command, then compare FZF's handling of the generated filename with Vim's :edit **/* workaround. Trace the file-opening path used by the plugin and verify that a filename containing LF can be selected and opened without changing the existing workaround behavior.
