The problem, though, is how to give "sufficient path details". Which path would you usually use, from Mac OS, to cause a Windows program hosted in a VM to open a file? Unless you've written your own custom filesystem drivers for both systems to provide some sort of distributed interprocess communication mechanism (difficult perhaps, but certainly not impossible), I doubt any such path exists.
