Is there anyway to force filetype when user enters filename in the 'Save as' Dialog box?

Hi folks !

I am currently building an app which takes in user inputs from the app interface and gives out data to the user. In the app, I have a section for the user to mention the location of the file, however they are  free to choose any file type, is there a way to force it so that, say they can only save as Excel files (.xlsx) ?

In my workflow, I update the Output data tool with this path provided by the user through a File Browse tool. Any suggestions would be helpful !

I think we can specify the output file format in the setting.
