How to choose with which version of the app I want to open a file from creative cloud app

Hey everyone,

Is there a way to choose which version of Illustrator I want to open a file with from Creative Cloud?

I need to keep an older version of Illustrator because I have some machines with plugins that don’t work with the newer versions. However, I also like using some of the latest features sometimes.

When I right-click a file in the Creative Cloud desktop app, I only have "Open" and "Open in Web," but there’s no "Open With" option, which I believe used to be there before.

It's opened and yet it's always trying to open the newer version whatever I do. In file explorer .ai container is set to open always in the old version but creative cloud app always open the newest version. Downloading is the way I do it, but a right-click "open with" option would be great and so much easier... What's the point of working in a cloud when I have to download every file?
