how to block internet to a particular extension file?

for ex: I need to block internet to .blend1 file which creates automatically as a back up file. I need to set up a rule in the "Windows Defender Firewall with Advanced Security - Inbound Rules " & "Windows Defender Firewall with Advanced Security - Outbound rules" in-order to block internet. When I tried to stop for a program, then it requires the program which is already installed. But an auto-generated back-up is an uninstalled program. I want to create a firewall for such kind of files, is that possible?

I think its a simple question any person can ask in-order to make sure Windows 11 files can be protected using Firewall technology.

Thank you

You may use Group Policy to restrict certain file extensions but ability to manage and block file extensions using Windows Firewall is not supported.
However, I advise you to open start and search for feedback and open the Feedback Hub app and file a suggestion and request this feature.
