Well, "open file", "read from file" etc are documented in the Transcript
Dictionary; and noted in the Development Guide in the same entry which
describes use of the URL scheme. They aren't linked from the URL entry in
the Transcript Dictionary (though there is a 'see also' link to "file",
which itself has 'see also' links to "open file", "read from file" etc); and
those entries themselves do each end with a tip noting the alternative of
using the URL scheme.
Doesn't show up in my development guide entry for "import data from file", and it's not mentioned in the "file" entry of the dictionary. I never ran across it in the "see also" box either, probably because of the strange behavior of this box. For instance, I just followed my "file" search of the dictionary with an "open" search, and rather than getting an "open" entry it brought up the "go" entry with no see-also to anything related to this open-from-file syntax. I see this wrinkle to searching the documentation now, thanks to your pointer. But I had given up, and other would-be developers are likely to get hung up on this non-intuitive lookup behavior.
