Despite specificying a path, clicking the following initiates a download into the top level of the Downloads folder.

<a download="subDir/test.png"> linktext </a>

Is there a way to specify a directory within Downloads?

This is possible in a browser extension (see answer of Javascript download an on-the-fly generated BLOB file into specific folder), but maybe not directly in HTML?

(Note: I am not trying to access the filesystem outside of Downloads, which I realize is a security concern.)
