File selector-Box for getting links to files in Intranet-Filesystems

Hello,
i develop a blazor server-application with following requirements:

1. The user wants to to save links to files (e.g. d:\temp\test.doc or \\shareserver\share\test.doc) or directories (e.g. d:\temp or \\shareserver\share)
   to a database.
2. The user should be able to select those files and directories in the file-system with a file-selector box and get the path to them.

The standard html <input type=file>-Element is not working because it is not publishing the path to the selected file.

Is there any solution for this?

best regards

Volkhard
