Can Intents Extensions access the container app's Application Support directory?

Hi, My Mac app saves it's local database and other important information in the Application Support directory. I want to now create an Intents extension for the app so I can create shortcut actions. When I currently run this, the Application Support directory for the extension is different than for the main application.

Is there any way on macOS for the extension to access it's parent applications App Support directory? I know it's not possible in iOS, and you have to use App Groups for this, but I'm wondering about the Mac. BTW, the app is a sandboxed app for the Mac App Store.

You should use the same pattern (App Groups) for your Mac app as you would for iOS.
