Mario,

Thanks despite, your conclusion. 

way to low level to be useful


If it were possible do we not need only provide the path/filename in a 
format appropriate to the host?

For others passing, 

the browse widget works for import
<$browse multiple>

and even 
<$edit-text field="filename" tag=input type=file >

Gives you to the filename in a tiddler field (with the 
prefix C:\fakepath\clipboard-alt-green.svg}

Regards
Tony
