Not True, This feature has been around since pre LMS, it's just non
intuitive.

Get the file path to the file / folder / directory of interest

In the Web Interface

Paste this into the Internet Radio -> Tune In URL Field

Click on the play (Tune in) or Add Buttons

See your desired files queued up or played using the file reference ,
rather than a stream URL.

Result.

For Bonus Points, work out the request / command sent to LMS generated
by this interaction, then embed it in a shell extension, so you could
play the file directly from the file system (in much the same way as
the foobar2000 Shell / File Explorer Context Menu additions) - Or have
an app you could drag and drop the file onto to play them, or whatever
Operating system dependent mechanism works for you. 

The Capability is there - its just how you expose it in a useful
manner.
