Sure:
$ emacs file:///etc/motd

Use M-x make-directory RET RET to create the directory and its parents

What a "outdated" response from emacs.

It should at least say "I am emacs. I know you used a file: URL. I know
file URL have more meaning than arbitrary zzzz: URLs. But I currently
don't have a consensus about what to do with them right now." At least.
