Jed, Just a thought.
If I am running tiddlywiki locally I can always get a full local filepath and save it in TiddlyWiki in a tiddler. I could even build a way to import the whole folder tree and import it to tiddlywiki. Once these folders are known in tiddlywiki I could do a lot of stuff. Its seems that while browsers now limit the process in the browser that collects such foldernames, such that if it were compromised It can not be used to access systems files etc... However surely we have the "right" to provide a given wiki with that data? and then use that data as we need? The browser can surely know this because we provide it with the folder names by our own means?
