I think this was addressed here 😆

Yeah, sadly I'm going to have to defer to the devs on that one, and judging from the link above, this is a dead end. (At least, for this device.) If you're able to prove otherwise, you are correct - it would be amazing! Best of luck and keep us in the loop. 😊
Bluetooth and WiFi both operate in broadly similar RF range: 2.4 GHz. Although there are significant differences between the two communication technologies, the radio hardware itself can produce either signal.
This is called Cross-technology communication (CTC), which is a particular technology that enables direct communication between heterogeneous devices that use different wireless standards.
A lot of research has been done in this area in recent years, and it is now a proven fact that commercial wifi devices can emulate bluetooth signals with clever software, and vice versa: vanilla bluetooth devices can also communicate natively with wifi access points without any hardware modification.
It would be a breakthrough hack, if Flipper Zero could employ such technology, and can emulate WiFi without any external hardware addon.
Here are some research on the subject to start with:
