I'm not sure such a directory value will do what we want. The value
should be a local file name. E.g., on Windows typing RET on a link
will eventually call a function that needs to be able to produce an
absolute file name by calling expand-file-name.
Either that, or change the function invoked by RET to let-bind the
buffer's directory to the right value.

Then don't allow to save.
