You can now do this using Embr Periscope's Client Resource feature:

There are currently two supported types: TypeScript (supports JavaScript, TypeScript, JSX, and TSX) CSS Modules All Client Resources loaded and run on page load/refresh, serving as a direct, robust alternative to Markdown Injection. They can also provide React components, which can be used via a …

In a Client Resource module, you can write a custom input component that has a [capture](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Reference/Attributes/capture) attribute.

I'd recommend either:

1. Sending the file to a WebDev endpoint.
2. Explore using the client-side `FileUploadUtility` + a custom Page event listener subscribed to [FileUploadModelDelegate.FileUploadedToPageEvent's](https://sdk.inductiveautomation.com/javadoc/ignition81/8.1.33/com/inductiveautomation/perspective/gateway/components/FileUploadModelDelegate.FileUploadedToPageEvent.html).
3. Possibly sending the bytes to a message handler if the file size isn't too large.
