Why should token- and/or TPM-based keys be integrated with file-based keys? 
OpenSSL and its engines need/should accept URI pointing at the keys. Pointing 
them at files containing some proprietary reference to keys that are kept in 
hardware does not seem to make sense. 

So why is it better to say “…engine –key /some/weird/path/weird-file.pem” than 
“…engine –key pkcs11:id=02” (or such)?
