Another user that needs this. I need to run Enterprise Architect from sparx
systems:

http://www.sparxsystems.com/

My company uses the floating corporate keys, which live on a windows file
share. The key database has the path coded into it so it must be accessed from
windows using:

\\servername\directory\keyfile

Any attempt to access from a mounted drive or other location results in the key
store being considered invalid.

I have mounted the directory samba and created an appropriate directory under
unc:

.wine/dosdevices/unc/server/directory/

However this directory is not accessible from the file dialog that opens when
running enterprise architect. There are no "Network Places" available to select
from or anything similar.

Typing the appropriate unc location directly into the file dialog also fails.

To be able to use this I need to have wine able to reference
\\servername\directory as a file location.

I don't need auto mounting of remote network resources, I'm happy to create the
appropriate unc directory and create sym links, but applications need to be
able to see these unc locations.
