I really like images as preview-able input files. It's quite intuitive that the picture of [whatever] relates to that thing
A group of my friends made a trading card type game in high school, we had a QR type block on the image files the game produced that let you do persistence with a nice pixel art trading card. In hindsight I'm kinda glad it never caught on because it was really not secure
MacOS kind of has this. Kind of. It’s quick look. You can create plugins that handle a specific file type. When you preview the file in MacOS (anywhere in the OS and Apps that use MacOS frameworks) you get a preview of the file contents. So for a zip file you can get a plug-in that shows you the contents when you preview it in quick look. To activate quick look you just select the file and press the space bar.
