MacOS – Create System Preferences URL to Privacy Files and Folders in 10.15 Catalina

catalinamacospreferencesprivacyurl

In macOS you can create a link to the Automation section of the Privacy Pane in System Preferences by the following URL

x-apple.systempreferences:com.apple.preference.security?Privacy_Automation

Does anyone know the equivalent for the new Files and Folders section in Catalina, or a way to make macOS to print out all links?

I have tried running the apple script mentioned in a similar question about a link to Full Disk Access in Mojave, but this doesn't appear to return all sections (for example Input Monitoring and Files and Folders).
