  For example when using new, non-verified application, which you don't trust it won't modify the documents you are viewing? I don't know, but the portal has the ability to restrict the permissions and I don't really see why this would be something wrong from UX point of view. Even the KFileWidget mentions exactly this use-case: https://api.kde.org/frameworks/kio/html/classKFileWidget.html#ace86a29da1c82ebdb54a8415d85cfbd7.
