Browsing TS workarea from CGI?

I have created a workflow that allows a user(via CGI Task) to select a DCR, the path-to-save-the-DCR, etc. Using embedded CCI URLs, I provide them a link to actually edit the DCR. At the conclusion of the workflow, the DCR then generates the desired file, in the desired location, submits, etc. This workflow is called 'Add New Content.'

I want to create another workflow called 'Edit Existing Content,' in which I (possibly) allow our users to browse the workarea for the file that they want to edit, at which point I can extract the associated DCR, use CCI URL to create the link allowing them to edit, etc.

Has anyone ever initiated a "browse" function from a CGI? Is there a way to "capture" the selected file's value, using the 'viewdirectory' CCI URL?

TIA

one of my clients simpli lists all DCRs in a selectable list in one of WFT instanitaion screens.

you could probably reuse my bwrowser callout (available from the tech library) for thos, but some hooks to the fields instantiation wil need to be rewritten.

It's a pity IWOV does not expose their internal browser/calendar code via an API....
