I suspect that this is outside the parameters of what xforms is designed
to do, but ...

<xforms:instance src="XmlData.xml" id="sourcedata"/>

Is it possible to load the instance interactively using a file selector box?

Also, when submitting data:

<xforms:submission action="file:///tmp/destdata.xml" method="put"/>

Is it possible to tell the xforms processor to open a file selector
box to fill out the action attribute?

The only element I've found that triggers a file selector box is "upload,"
which isn't suitable for this, I don't think.

Thanks,
Tom Ed White
