Programmatically set upload path

fl.schmitt(ops-users)
Hi,

is it possible to modify the upload control so that it is possible to
select the file to upload not by hand, but rather by selecting an entry
from a list of files? In other words: can i programmatically set the
file that should get uploaded?

Background: On an upload page, the user should select a file for upload
that was created before by a third application. Because path and name of
that file are already known, i'd like to simplify the workflow by
proposing certain files for upload so the user can select the file
directly rather than using the file-open dialog to search and select the
file. Has anyone experience with such a scenario?

I understand the use case.

But I don't think you can do this in HTML for security reasons.
