I'm sure there is a solution but nothing has been coded internally as of yet to deal with those 'cart required' situations (as well as those that require no BIOSes). The file selection part of the UI is considered to be a fallback and never meant to replace a front-end or command-line interaction. Given time, I'm sure the situation will be fixed.
