Hello everyone, is there a way to download from URLs using Compose Desktop? I have Firebase storage files that I want to download by showing a file explorer shell to the user to allow them to save it. I want to hide the URL of the file from Firebase.

It’s not in the scope of Compose, but because Compose for Desktop is based on Java, you have all the Java APIs available.

<https://www.baeldung.com/java-download-file> for example

Or if you want to open in a browser you can use:
```val localUrl = LocalUriHandler.current
localUrl.openUri(url)```
And should open the browser in a system independent way

And by using Ktor client (<https://ktor.io/docs/getting-started-ktor-client.html>) this could even be done in a multi-platform fashion.
