Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
While having Azure Storage Account as backend for Azure Front Door frontend, it's possible to download files with azcopy by including extra CLI parameters: --from-to BlobLocal --trusted-microsoft-suffixes '*.azurefd.net'
However, it seems like there's no way to have Azure Storage Explorer support Azure Front Door with similar approach.
Our focus is on use case to access private container (i.e.,. sign-in experiences is required) on Storage Account with IAM access control.
Describe the solution you'd like
Have Azure Storage Explorer support accessing Azure Storage Account backed Azure Front Door URL
Describe alternatives you've considered
no other alternatives for requirements for GUI
Additional context
Sign-in is required for private container on Blob service
AzCopy or Storage Explorer are required to support faster download operations

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by reviewing Azure Storage Explorer's existing sign-in and Blob endpoint handling against the stated Azure Front Door and private-container requirements. Done means authenticated access to an Azure Storage Account through an Azure Front Door URL is supported.
