Ok, I see.

Yes, such a use case is not out-of-the-box supported. You'll need to
do some programming here. Depending on how close you want to integrate
it, you can create your own PRStructure subclass that handles this for
you; or, as others already suggested, have a Seaside component that
does something meaningful with the file directory.
