Hey Costa,

In any Open or Save dialog you can hit ⌘⇧G to bring up a sheet to type or paste a path string into.

So your sequence would be something like:

  • Type a Keystroke ⌘⇧G
  • Pause Until a button named “Go” exists.
  • Insert Text by Pasting your complete posix path string to the file.
  • Press a Button “Go”.
  • Pause Until a button named “Choose” is active.
  • Press a Button “Choose”.
