Theoretically, it seems like this should work, but it doesn't. In 3.5
if you don't have the real path name, you get a requester saying it can't
load the object and would you like to select an alternate.
This is true for load from scene or when loading scenes. Assigning
will make the object load requester open on the assigned directory.
