Pass arguments to the entity_browser iframe url (modal)

I have a form I have a field of type Date Range, I also have another field of type entity_browser(modal) with a selection view widget.

The normal behavior when I click the Button of the entity browser field, is the opening of the modal, if we inspect the code it can be seen similar to this:

<form     data-entity-browser-uuid="a9b7680318c9f1a1aca1abc308d8c6d0ac880b4a"     data-drupal-selector="entity-browser-event-browser-form"     action="/entity-browser/modal/event_browser?uuid=a9b7680318c9f1a1aca1abc308d8c6d0ac880b4a&original_path=/node/add/activity"     method="post"     id="entity-browser-event-browser-form">.... </form>  

What I’m trying to do, is that as the dates are selected, pass these values as arguments to the iframe url something like this:

<form     action="/entity-browser/modal/event_browser?uuid=a9b7680318c9f1a1aca1abc308d8c6d0ac880b4&aoriginal_path=/node/add/activity&start=12-02-2022&end=14-02-2022"  .... </form>  

Then from the view take these values and filter the contents.

What i have so far

Reviewing the code of the entity_browser module, I see that the Modal class (Drupalentity_browserPluginEntityBrowserDisplayModal), as part of the process hook, this dispatch an event to which one can subscribe.

In fact, i can add parameters to the query argument in this subscription, i have harcoded the values as a test, but they do not render when I refresh the form where I create the content that contains the entity_browser type field.

Example:

public function onAlterEntityBrowserDisplayData(AlterEntityBrowserDisplayData $event) {     if ($event->getBrowserID() === "event_browser") {        $data = $event->getData();      if (isset($data["query_parameters"]["query"])) {         $data["query_parameters"]["query"]['start'] = '12-02-2022';         $data["query_parameters"]["query"]['end'] = '14-02-2022';         $event->setData($data);       }     }    } 

If I could get this to work, then I’d have to figure out some way with ajax to keep changing these values as the values in the date field change.

I don’t know if this is the best way to do it, I don’t know what you think.
