Feature Description:

The File System JS API allows developers to interact with the file system of the user via their browser. vscode.dev is able to pick a user directory and open that directly in the browser. We should probably implement something similar in addition to the existing BrowserFS implemented in #12853.

Just FYI BrowserFS is deprecated. #13520 discussed moving to ZenFS, an active fork. Ultimately the team decided to just remove the dependency all together by using a direct OPFS approach.

The code uses the same API (The File System Access API), so it's just a matter of change which handle is used as the root.
