Chromebook and web browser

So, managed recently to get an adb wifi connection to chromebook transparently working in Appium.
This means I can run my android app on a chromebook and test it on the chromebook without significant test code changes at all. I’m now wondering, since my Android app also opens Chrome at one point, but my autotest cannot see the Chrome app, since appium cannot see chrome apps… is there any magical way of connecting to the chromedriver directly?

I would have to install the appium server on the chromebook I guess by using the apt command to install appium-server on chrome…which I’m not even sure would be in the same sandbox, is the linux console in the same sandbox as the browser?

I guess, I’m asking if anyone has managed to get this https://www.reddit.com/r/Crostini/comments/l7kqjd/selenium_on_chromebook/ to work in a way that did not require installing chrome into the linux environment.
