[TYPO3] Programmatically saving/loading .t3d files?

[Mike]

Is it possible to save and load .t3d files programatically?  Does the 
plugin API in typo3 allow for that?

What we want to do is use .t3d files for exactly what they're normally 
used for- with the one exception that instead of saving/loading them 
from the user's local hard drive, we want to save/load them to a 
directory on the server.

Then we could write a plugin/extension for typo3 so that the admin 
interface would allow for that.

Can this be done, does the API allow the saving/loading of .t3d files 
programmatically?

thanks
