Can't Open Files in Hidden Directory Using Webstorm

I am trying to edit some JavaScript files using Webstorm but for whatever reason, when looking up the directory, Webstorm can't identify them.

My first guess was that maybe I didn't have read/write permissions set up for /home/<myusername>/.var/, so I did that and no change.

Now my next guess is that maybe is the fact that these files are largely saved as “Plain Text Documents” which could be maybe causing issues? Though if I drag the .js files outside of this specific directory, it suddently works fine. And in addition, sometimes even the directory itself doesn't appear! 
 

For additional context: Using Webstorm 2024.3.1.1 on 6.13.1-2-cachyos (with KDE Plasma 6.2.5 if that affects anything)
