Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Users will often have to manually set very long paths to their cohort data. It has been a pain point for certain lab members who have deeply nested subdirectory structures.

Describe the solution you'd like

ipyfilechooser is a module that can be used to simplify this process. For base_dir, where some users are on Docker and most users use a conda environment, this will especially be helpful.

The example below is for a file selection, but you can also do folder selection by hitting Select after navigating inside the desired directory.
