Is it possible to represent a directory from a Uri like you would represent a single file?
Str filePathWorks := "/rsc/chrome-win/chrome.exe";//This does work
Str filePathDoeNot := "/rsc/chrome-win/";//This does not work
private File loadLocalFile(Str filePath)
{
//Source any file from the local path in the pod
pod := typeof.pod;
f := pod.file(Uri.fromStr(filePath))
return f;
}

In general, yes, but if you're talking about pod files (as per your example) then, no.
As far as I'm aware, .zip files (and hence .pod files) don't have any notion of directories or directory structure - just individual files with an associated path.
If I may ask, what do you want it for?
If it's just a reference for obtaining other files, then you can use the URI:
** Source a file from the pod
File loadPodFile(Str filePath) {
typeof.pod.file(`/rsc/chrome-win/` + filePath.toUri)
}

In general directories inside a zip file are typically not first class objects like in a traditional file system. I've seen them both ways (some zip tools support them as first class and some don't). We don't attempt to write directories out into the pod zip file in our compiler.
