Describe the solution you'd like
From the native OS Finder/Explorer the user can open a file in the a wails app. On mac this might mean using the right-click menu and selecting "Open with..." and then a wails app.
If the wails app is registered as the default handler for a specific file type, simply double-clicking on a file from Finder/Explorer should open it in the wails app.
Electron has some prior art here, although an ideal solution for wails/go might look different: https://www.electronjs.org/docs/latest/api/app#event-open-file-macos
Describe alternatives you've considered
No alternatives known other than using something besides Wails.
Additional context
There's also a related discussion: #1829
Wails is currently great for putting a UI on top of a web app or some Go functionality, however, its capabilities would be significantly expanded (IMO) if Wails apps could handle files the same way native apps do. Certain use-cases likely will not be possible otherwise.
