I used Zen on both Windows and Linux/endeavourOS. I believe the latter uses flatpak. I just used the system Add Programs installer. When the browser tries to load web-Leo, a dialog gets put up that says that local file system is not available. There is a link to a Moz page that says that local file access is experimental and limited to certain contexts. It appears to be a Mozilla thing, not a container matter. Vivaldi on EndeavourOS is able to open files in the file system.
