Depends on the implementation of the code in the game.  In some programs
(-I recall that Game Maker 5/6-based games (a PASCAL game-making
utility) this applies-) you can use the Load/Save File Dialog/Functions
to get filenames for use in loading and/or saving files interchanably,
probably.

incomplete built-in spec or stub, maybe?  ask wine-devel about this. 
It's worth noting that winehq and cedega are in ways seperate, IIRC.

How about searches on google?  Do those amount to anything?

Someone else, take over?  I don't think I'm really qualified to answer
this question.
