Description
I am the author of [bangle-io](https://github.com/bangle-io/bangle-io) - a library which allows taking note locally thanks to the [File System Access API](https://web.dev/file-system-access/).
Currently Playwright **doesn't support accepting permissions** (see the screenshot) to view/edit a local file using the following api.
```ts
let dirHandle = await window.showDirectoryPicker();
const perms = await dirHandle.requestPermission(opts);
```
Do you think others might benefit from this as well?
This will benefit folks writing robust apps which provide local first support.
