Could it be possible to use cookies from the browser directly instead of a text document?

What I mean is, can gamdl extract cookies from the Apple Music web player in the same way that ytdlp extracts cookies from YouTube?

Ok but that still involves a text file, which isn't what they want. Plus you can easily retrieve cookies to text using any cookies to txt extension, not just the ytdlp application
