Description

Would it be possible to get the will-download event to Session class? I would want to prevent certain file extensions to be downloaded. Another thing would be that could do automation with specific filetypes. More information of this at https://github.com/electron/electron/blob/master/docs/api/download-item.md

Research direction
The issue requests adding a 'will download' event to the Session class, as documented in Electron's download item API. Review the existing Electron.NET repository for patterns used in other event implementations, particularly in the Session class. Check the Electron documentation for the event parameters and behavior. No linked PRs or assignees are present, so the implementation is open for contribution.
