You can use [`getEntryFromUrl()`](https://developer.adobe.com/photoshop/uxp/2022/uxp-api/reference-js/Modules/uxp/Persistent%20File%20Storage/FileSystemProvider/#createentrywithurlurl-options) and pass it an appropriately mutated version of the `entry`’s `nativePath`.  
Here’s an [similar example](http://forums.creativeclouddeveloper.com/t/getentrywithurl/6453/4) - note the need for manifest v5 and the appropriate access permissions set there in.
