The default admin widget of FilePathField seems to be just a combo box displaying available files.
How can I make it display a file browser instead?

I spent two hours trying to find out how to customize select2 widget in Django admin to implement this simple feature.
I have a model (Article) that contains many other objects (Pictures). Every Picture has a set of FileFields representing the original image file, the thumbnail, post-processed (using Pillow) preview and some meta stuff.
What I'm going to achieve is to be able to upload new images on the Article change page, and select/deselect them in the fancy Select2 dropdown widget.
How can I do that? Should I use ImageField instead of FileField? Should I use inlines and through for ManyToMany relation between Article and Pictures? Should I make my own widget? How do Django admin uses Select2 and how could I pass parameters like "templateResult" to be able to change the look of dropdown items?
Thank you in advance.
I created a simple Sitecore JSS Application and imported the same.
In connected mode, I want to add a few new fields. I added them to the template (Image 1) and they show up in the item (Image 2). When I query the item, I get the new fields in the json object as well (Image 4).
However, I cannot see the new fields in the experience editor (Image 3) and I am assuming I need to add those in the View. I am unable to locate where I need to add these fields or what I need to do, to have these show up.
Image 1: The modified template
Image 2: Both description and photo show up in the item
Image 3: Description and photo do not show up in the experience editor
Image 4: Json however returns these 2 properties
The Experience Editor use the Node.js app inside the /dist folder of your Sitecore webroot. (See also the config, you can have multiple apps)
Change your frontend, I Guess you use React, Vue, or Angular and upload/deploy to the dist folder.
You need to choose your dev workflow see:
https://doc.sitecore.com/xp/en/developers/hd/190/sitecore-headless-development/development-workflows.html
When you add your fields in Sitecore, you are using the Sitecore-First Workflow.

JSS add a extra Field "Always Display Field Editor Button in Experience Editor" to Renderings. In the Experience editor the Chrome Toolbar from a rendering has as first icon a Pencil, That opens a Field editor for all custom fields.

Thanks.
On the main admin screen I want a link that when clicked would bring up a page with a textarea along with a button that when clicked will invoke a python function. That function would return data that would be displayed on the page below the textarea.
If this were a regular page that was part of my app I could easily do this, but I'm not sure how to integrate something like this into my admin page. Everything thing in admin seems to be tied to a model, and this is not. Do I have to create a dummy model for this? Let's say I do create a dummy model, then how do I get django to display my custom template for this?
Can anyone help with this?
You can use this django app: https://github.com/jsocol/django-adminplus to add links at the bottom of the list of models without adding a dummy once.
The Django admin site makes use of a really cool widget:
How can I make use of this widget in my own applications? I don't see anything like that listed here.
From the docs:
The Django Admin application defines a number of customized widgets for calendars, filtered selections, and so on. These widgets define media requirements, and the Django Admin uses the custom widgets in place of the Django defaults. The Admin templates will only include those media files that are required to render the widgets on any given page.
If you like the widgets that the Django Admin application uses, feel free to use them in your own application! They’re all stored in django.contrib.admin.widgets.
In this case, you want the FilteredSelectMultiple widget. To use it, apply the widget on a form field like so:
my_field = forms.ModelMultipleChoiceField(queryset=MyModel.objects.all(), widget=FilteredSelectMultiple("verbose name", is_stacked=False))
Make sure to include the forms media in the template as it needs to include a few JS files.
