Also note that this is running Catalina in a VMWare virtual machine.
Ah, yes. Manually typing in the path/application to set preferred external html editor works on High Sierra as well. It seems only the "Browse" button doesn't work as expected.

Is there a way to manually type in the path/application for Open With? I'm only getting the option to browse, which isn't working.

ETA: Okay, I just edited the sigil.ini file to add PageEdit to my Open With choices, and it worked. So it really does seem to just be the Browse button that is problematic.

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.
Yes, this is my experience as well when trying to browse. Instead of selecting PageEdit.app, it opens the package, and drilling down to MacOS directory inside the package gets you to a greyed-out PageEdit that cannot be selected.
