I've been searching for a way to import the RDP file into the WindowsApp as well, as going to a file folder to launch an RDP file is cumbersome. Microsoft should implement an import/export option just like the MacOS counterpart.

I had to download the RDP file, from my downloads folder I had to SHARE it to the Windows App to open it. Then in the Windows App settings I turned on "Always import RDP files", and it saved it there for me.
