AFAIRemember, options set with printsetupbox() are not saved, in such a 
way that for each next Scilab session, one has to reset options as 
wished. I could have bet that this cumbersome situation is reported on 
Bugzilla, but i have not found the related report.
For services or modules having a preferences file, 
getPreferencesValues() and setPreferencesValues() can be used to set 
existing configuration parameters in a programmatic way.

Right, noticeably if your document is not in the current working directory.
In GUI, it is possible to use HTML and so to display HTML hyperlinks, 
and then set an href to file://...
So, you may define your own GUI -- even a small one -- with this kind of 
feature.
