It seems like it only accepts .exe files, .app files aren't "applications" apparently.
Works for me though I did type the path/application manually (old habits die hard ). See the screenshots. Not sure if it made any difference that I copied the Sigil.app and PageEdit.app files into the Applications directory and opened both to allow setting the security before modifying Sigil's preferences.

Also note that this is running Catalina in a VMWare virtual machine.

Edit: trying to browse to the PageEdit.app did open the package instead of selecting it. Makes sense in a way since .app files are packages. I could not select PageEdit in the MacOS directory in the package though I seem to remember that file should be the "real" executable.
