While out of the scope of this project, I think it certainly is possible
with a Chrome or Firefox add-on! I've seen a few "Download Managers" in
both browsers that can actually intercept the download action.

When opening a file from our add-on we could quickly check the trust
level of the ~/Downloads folder and act accordingly.

Cool suggestion, thanks!
