I tried this as a Chrome extension a long time ago - github.com/captn3m0/sympathy
The idea was to make file-editing possible and simple in your browser. The extension let you edit file:/// URLs in your browser using the (now unavailable) NPAPI. The results were fun - especially for web development, where I could edit the CSS in one tab, and have it reflect in the second. Chrome added a "workspace" editor a while later, which was similar.
