The preference setting does indeed let you specify a folder, that's the
point. It doesn't have to be root of any drive. It can be anywhere in
the tree.
But now I see you want, on a particular transaction, to specify a
location rather than a single file. Though I'm not sure I grasp the
utility since you can specify a path in preferences. Individual
transactions get a specific file you can view, without having to hunt
for it.

I wasn't sure if 'Linked Location' would accept any other scheme other than 'http(s)://' but looks like it permits 'file:///' scheme as well, thus makes it fair to link anything rather than limited to just a single file.
