Open, edit and save a zap file outside the Simplicity Studio environment

I'm trying to run ZAP in the mode where you can run a web server with the GUI mess with the the zcl_config.zap files. I'm having issues with it loading an already existing file to make modifications without using Simplicity Studio. I've tried running it with the command:

/tools/zap/zap-cli server \
    --packageMatch fuzzy \
    --zcl /tools/gsdk/app/zcl/zcl-zap.json \
    --generationTemplate /tools/gsdk/protocol/zigbee/app/framework/gen-template/gen-templates.json \
    --appendGenerationSubdirectory \
    --in /tools/gsdk/protocol/zigbee/app/framework/scenarios/z3/Z3Light/config/zcl/zcl_config.zap

and then connected to http://localhost:9070 via a web browser, but it just shows a new file without any endpoints. I even tried using the query parameter filePath (http://localhost:9070/#/?filePath=%2Ftools%2Fgsdk%2Fprotocol%2Fzigbee%2Fapp%2Fframework%2Fscenarios%2Fz3%2FZ3Light%2Fconfig%2Fzcl%2Fzcl_config.zap) in the URL but that didn't work either.

Also I tried both --in pointing to the .zap file and the directory containing it, neither worked.

Is ZAP supposed to open files and edit them? I know that mode is available in Simplicity Studio, but I'm using the scl-cli as a replacement on a headless server.

its more recommended to take a binary from here https://github.com/project-chip/zap/releases/tag/v2024.06.04

when you open the ZAP binary there will be an electron menu which will allow you to open files
