Getting the absolute path of file downloaded through a chrome extension

I am developing a chrome extension which downloads particular files from webpages. And I have a popup.html through which I can enter a name for the file to be downloaded and also a link "History" on clicking which I would like to open a new page with links to previously downloaded files(Download history).

I am able to download files but I am unable to figure out how to show the download history. If I could get the absolute path of the file download, I can just put it in the new page as a link. And when we click that the local browser would do the rest(Show the files present in the downloads path).Any help would be appreciated.

According to chrome.downloads.DownloadItem, you can use

chrome.downloads.DownloadItem.filename

to get absolute local path.
