Answer is No.

Why :

When user download file into his local file system then downloaded file became a part of users file and as you know you can't access any file/directory from users local file system.

Alternative solution :Yes

  1. Download file using XmlHttpRequest (AJAX) into blob object help link
  2. Open file from saved blob object.

in above alternative solution You can also allow use to save file(download file).
