[Javascript] Please confirm my doubts

Generally speaking, no, you can't... there would be massive security issues
involved.  However, I have heard that you can access local files using a
"signed script" but i'm not very well read on this topic so can't say for
sure.  It might be worth investigating what signed scripts allow you to do.

good luck.
