Ah! No, the current implementation doesn't support that, but if you want to extend the code to do so and push a merge-request on ParaView (d) -- which would be awesome -- here are a few pointers:
1. Extend pqFileChooserWidget (a) to add support for non-existing files. 2. Extend pqStringVectorPropertyWidget to (b) add support for new attribute on the <FileChooser /> hint to support non-exisiting files and if and when it's present, tell pqFileChooseWidget using the API added in 1. 3. Update PropertyHints.md (c) to document the new hint attribute added in 2.
