No, you can't....

.... unless, you made it accessable from inside Zope.

You have various options:

  *  the excellent "LocalFS" product
  *  the "ExternalFile" product (which probably is excellent, too,
     but I do not know it personally)
  *  an external method returning the content of a file
     giving its filename (search the list archive to find
     one - with the associated *security* warning!)
