This is not restricted for input devices (only on GrapheneOS).
But usb data transfer needs to be unlocked in settings->connections->usb at least on stock Android
It's been a long time since I've used USB OTG and I can't find my adapter to test this, but what I remember is that the mouse cursor just appeared when plugging in the mouse to the phone. The keyboard also just works as an input device when plugged in. Can you see what's on the screen or is the screen display broken along with the digitizer?
No the screen is broken like totally gone, it glitches and it's 95% shattered, it only lights on and the phone doesn't even vibrat to indicate "something"
Oh, so... I guess that's why.. yeah.. Like I said, Android will ask you : what you wanna do ? And you have to select ( transfer files ) otherwise it won't give you access to it's local storage..
Edit: not sure if you use USB to the PC and OTG at the same time.
It's possible to hit the "transfer files" button with keyboard and mouse. The popup will likely be in focus to navigate/select with the keyboard. You could try running an Android simulator with your Android OS version and screen dimensions side by side and work through it that way. It'd take some trial and error but not impossible.
