We have in the NoteCase Pro API (written in C):

string Nc_Script_Path_Get()

Returns the path of the current script (.lua file path or path of
NoteCase Pro document, which contains the script).

So although I am not an advanced programmer, I'd guess that what you
suggest is possible. But it might better be done as part of a module,
in aid of keeping core Lua slim and trim. It's functionality not
everyone will need.

Best regards,

Paul
