About the Composable API

I’m thinking about exposing VueFinder programmatically outside the component through a composable.
This would allow full programmatic control over selections, paths, and operations.

const finder = useVueFinder('my-local-finder');
finder.refresh();                // Refresh current path
finder.select(['media://my-files/file.txt');
finder.createFolder('New'); // Adapter handles implementation
