Flatpak application permissions to trash directory

I installed an application via flatpak (Obsidian) and used flatseal to limit the filesystem permissions to a single directory in my home directory. However, I've noticed that when I delete notes from Obsidian, they are sent to my system trash directory. I wrongly assumed that it wouldn't have access to write there given the filesystem permissions.

I tried to find information about how those permissions work in Linux, and I found this, which was some interesting reading: https://specifications.freedesktop.org/ … ec/latest/. But it's not quite what I'm after. I'm looking for something that relates specifically to how flatpak deals with filesystem permissions. Is anyone able to point me in the right direction? Thanks
