Action 'File open'

Make this workable with variables.
like the variable(string) contains the file's storage path.

this one is the normal file open action:

and this one is what I meant:

That would be great however, I think Google is breaking these kinds of features.

Try shell script action:

install /storage/emulated/0/Magisk-v23.0.apk

For opening other files, you can use Android intents and or the cat command in the shell script action

hi,
definitely it can't be that Google will be breaking this feature 😊
it's a very valid feature request along with many others (not file related) that ask to use a variable instead of a fixed literal value in various actions/constraints 😊

Scoped storage is what breaks things in Android 11, it is indeed done by Google

the shell script you provided doesn't work and I tried to save it on a var it says install needs 2 argument.
and using cat won't also work because it won't send the file to package installer but the intents have a great potential but I'm still learning on it so thanks

I get the same issue with install.

cat is text files only.

intent intercept app from F-droid may help although I'm still stuck
