I realize that this was proposed and assigned in the issue referenced below. But I needed the solution sooner than later for my setup. I thought I should at least offer what I have in case it's useful.

Adds a file browser option to the Python environment kernel picker, allowing users to manually locate a Python interpreter on the filesystem. This addresses the gap where the Environments extension fails to detect all available environments, particularly for multi-project workspaces with virtual environments in subfolders or outside the workspace.

Fixes #17281
