I'm having a bit of trouble understanding the sentence, but assuming you mean
how Wine would show the dialog:
XDG desktop portals. Wine can call xdg-desktop-portal on the host and it'll
redirect to the DE/WM equivalent. Flatpak utilizes this inside its sandbox to
give access to the host system, like for file pickers.
