Support reading/writing persistent files in Android 11+

The documentation of the capacitor Filesystem plugin tells us, that writing persistent files is no longer supported since Android 11.
Is it planned to re-enable this in the Filesystem plugin?
Since Android 11 Google changed the way to read/write files in Android.
Previously you just needed the correct permission and could read/write files almost anywhere.
Now, you can read/write files in your so called app specific storage without permissions, but you can only access files in the so called shared storag by using Android’s “Storage access framework”.
As Android 11 is now 3 years old and you can not publish apps on the Play Store, that do not target at least Android 13, is it planned to support Android’s “new” way of handling files?

Yeah, I’m new here bc I started working on my Cordova app again and have this problem. I’m finding it quite annoying.
