Not sure what you mean by XY problem.

We're trying to do something like a "save as" where depending on the 
setup the user can enter a filename with the directory path.  We block 
the context menu that allows creating new files etc.

Is there a way to get the user's entry when the file doesn't exist and 
the user clicks the ok button?
