For example, Caja in a browser can't manage file authorities because it can't reach file authorities at all. And Caja unchained from a browser doesn't have a tamed library for accessing files, so that is a block of work you'd need to do.

One could easily imagine Caja code with Tahoe URLs. These are
authorities to files and directories. A Caja library that allowed
asynchronous Tahoe interaction would be useful here.
