I’ve run into the same thing in my Validation Dashboard—I need to go from files within a directory to their full path because I’m translating file system paths in to repo-local paths and whatnot.
As Hans-Juergen shows, it’s not hard to combine the path you just passed to file:path() and the name but it’s annoying to have to do it.
Cheers,
E.

Why?
A relative path should work fine; if necessary you can use resolve-
uri() to turn a relative path into a full URI.

Probably, you should use resolve-uri($dir, base-uri(.)) although i
suppose you also need to watch for filenames containing colons...
