There might be times where an app would like to suggest a path location when saving or opening a file eg. When saving a note it might be useful to allow the editor to suggest a %documents% file location. The thinking behind this is that it could show that path on the users system as default view in the file picker, allowing them to save or open a note with limited navigation.

Possible path locations may include: %documents%, %desktop%, %pictures%, %videos%

Also related to #85 and #94, and somewhat related to #18. I agree that this is definitely something we will want, I don't think this is blocking for shipping an initial (v1) version of this API, but this set of issues I think is pretty high on the list of things we would want to add as enhancements.
