When you need to upload a photo to a photo hosting site through a browser, the system file manager opens. When choosing a photo for editing, this also happens through the file manager built into Android. Is there a way to force applications to open my preferred file manager instead of the system one?

Don't think that's an option really, the file manager is like the android version of the open file dialog in Windows now. Ever since they implimented secure app storage. Like op replied to you it's mostly hard coded in the apps or something. It's gonna get worse too, pretty sure android 12 made it so you can't use a third party camera for pictures taken through other apps, and on my OP9 Pro you can't select a alternative gallery app.
