I can hide input type file and trigger it from another element like so:

<button @click="$refs.fileRef.click()></button>"
<input type="file" ref="fileRef" style="display: none">

but when I try that with input type date it doesn't work:

<button @click="$refs.dateRef.click()></button>"
<input type="date" ref="dateRef" style="display: none">

Any way I can activate the date picker via ref?
