How to upload file without input?

Question

JavaScript

Good evening! I would like to know how you can download a file when you click on an element that is not associated with the input file.
For example

const fromCd = document.createElement('li');
            fromCd.addEventListener('click',( )=>{
           // Здесь как то нужно получить файл через js
})

Thank you!

It's quite simple, hide an invisible input on the page and click it with JavaScript when the user clicks on some other element you designate.
