I'm currently creating a tool, and the process would be far easier if there were a mod or custom extension out there that can manage (Import/export/modify) local files. Would anybody happen to know of such a tool? Or, if not, is there a way to allow importing/exporting lists without having to go into the editor and right click on said list (As I've already stated, I'm fine with using mods or custom extensions to achieve this functionality)?

I was not able to find anything on this from my brief research. I will keep looking on my own, and report back my findings if I do not receive an answer here. (Or, maybe my topic may get deleted if I posted this in the wrong place. I am unsure where else this would go, (if at all) if this is the case.)

Yes, adacraft provide some localStorage blocks. But there's also some blocks for files. One from the “Browser” adacraft extension:

save text [some text] as file [file.txt] ::pen

And some experimental ones (only available on adacraft beta for now) for reading some file content:

ask [Select file to open] and wait for file as text ::sensing

when the user select the file and validate the selection, the content will be available in

(answer)

that's why. there's a adacraft extension called “Browser” that adds blocks that do some stuff with the browser
so I meant capitalize that to “One from the ‘Browser’ extension”

Good point. I edited the original post to make it clearer. Thanks!

I've got a second related question, if it's not too much of a bother. Is there a way for me to obtain the link or direct file for the custom extensions used? While it's not absolutely required, my preferred method of project distribution is through using the packagers provided by Sheep_maker and GarboMuffin.

Again, this isn't something my project absolutely 100% needs to have, but if somebody knows how I would go about obtaining the needed information that would be super convenient and highly appreciated.

I'm super sorry about asking for so much.

There might be some custom “experimental” extensions out there which also implement localstorage, which can be HTMLified or TWPackaged.
(I don't think bundled custom extensions in a Scratch mod can be packaged, though.)
