Celluloid uses portals, simply forcing use of portals will do the job. Just add this in your apps part

apps:
  celluloid:
    environment:
      GDK_DEBUG: portals

Because celluloid is still using gtk_file_chooser_native as the given code above shows, this issue is persistent. When they move to the new gtk_file_dialog even this will also not be necessary. This will work in any averagely modern distro like Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. Same thing is done with gnome-text-editor also.

This is a very old already discussed issue

As you @SamAlex you can see here, I can access files from /mnt using your celluloid snap itself.
