[REQUEST] App Container storage location #3

Description

@DexrnZacAttack

UWP apps are sandboxed and as such only have access to a few folders, with a notable one being the container folder where the app is intended to write data to... These are usually a pain to find and make it really annoying to export save files and such on Windows.

I'm unsure how Wine handles configs, but it would be great if this storage location could be customized with maybe an arg being passed directly into the Wine exec when running a program. (or, store it in a place that is easily accessible)

By default, Windows stores this application data in %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Packages\{PackageId}\, with this containing multiple folders such as LocalState (used for local appdata), RoamingState (roaming appdata), TempState (temp folder?), etc.
