Load image file for OSL script

Dear Blender Devs,

I represent wParallax (wparallax.com), one click fake interiors for archviz. We use OSL script (jiwndowbox), osl should work in all software universally, however, in Blender there is a very time consuming issue, it is missing a very simple function to load image file… Attaching texture node to filename doesn’t work.

Is there a way to implement load file function, so people don’t have to manually type the file path?

By the way, you can download the free scene, to test it, from the wparallax website.

Best,
Art
