The preference setting does indeed let you specify a folder, that's the
point. It doesn't have to be root of any drive. It can be anywhere in
the tree.
But now I see you want, on a particular transaction, to specify a
location rather than a single file. Though I'm not sure I grasp the
utility since you can specify a path in preferences. Individual
transactions get a specific file you can view, without having to hunt
for it.

I simply set it to just plain root of the drive. But I don’t think this permits
specifying a folder.
So this question was pertaining to the other one -- using 'Linked Location' --
rather than 'Linked File' where (I hope!) that setting is a NOP. I wasn't sure
if 'Linked Location' would accept any other scheme other than 'http(s)://' but
looks like it permits 'file:///' scheme as well, thus makes it fair to link
anything rather than limited to just a single file.
