Great question … and thankfully no.

Your output path can be dependent on an element value captured within your XSD. You can add, for example, a new element to your form to allow the user to select what directory they want to save an XML in. This xs:anyURI element can use folder_restriction appearance option defined in web-client-config-wcm.xml. For your element, you can set that value to a default value in your form, or you can include via reference and a dynamic in-line JSP callout - which would give you the option of providing some users with a default value (a suggestion) and other users a fixed value (read-only, non-modifiable). The in-line callout could also return a simple enumerated list for a drop-down or radio-button select option if you prefer not giving a folder picker to your end-users.

On a more advanced note, you can define the folder element in a separate XSD that you explicit include (as either an XSD or JSP noted above) to enable reuse across common forms that need flexibility in output location. You can also define a generic abstract page type that each form you create for a page can import and make a specific defined instance of.

In your output path, you can reference any xml node as you normally would in Freemarker. There is a tooltip next to the output path with some guidance and more info on the wiki.
