When a user clicks a input value with type = file they are prompted with a mini-explorer type window from which they can select a file. Is there anyway to control what directory they are shown first?

Obviously doing so fruitfully would require knowledge of the user’s file system. But for my use case I do know the file system of my users.

(For what its worth, i’m webkitdirectory function to ask a user to select a directory, and I would like to start by suggesting a default that makes sense for my use case).
