How to get the file path from a preview link?

How can I get the proper Dropbox file path from a preview link obtained from the Dropbox Chooser? It is obviously unreliable to search for any file that matches the file name...

There currently isn't an officially supported way to get the original path from a shared link returned by the Chooser, but I'll be sure to pass this along as a request.
