The functionality you are requesting here will be part of the storage
framework. Please note that we haven't picked up working on that specific
framework, yet.

However, back when we started designing the content hub, we talked about
the notion of a "ContentStore" (see [1]). It essentially contains a path to
the respective directory, .e.g, for pictures on external storage. The
content hub would then be queriable for certain types of content stores.

The interesting question is obviously the AppArmor aspect.

@Jamie: Do you think we could come up with a policy like "External Storage
Access"?

Cheers,

  Thomas
