How to change dolphin emulator app data location from user to .var

I'd like to change dolphin's app data location to the usual flatpak location of .var rather than user. I'm accustomed to managing flatpak data this way and would like to keep it that way on bazzite. I don't see a way to to this through the app itself or through flatseal however. Warehouse only lists the data in .var not user, so it seems like nothing can be done there either. Any help would be appreciated.
Solution
I figured it out. In flatseal under the "persistent" section add the .var directory to the empty list labeled "files". You don't need to add the entire path either, just .var will do it.
