Default Can I use a text input to define another file to reference?

This is a pretty complex problem I think.

I would like to be able to link to cells in separate files, and have that
file path determined by a text input.

Example.

I am working in a file called "Test". I want to reference cell A1 in a file
called "Inputs" saved on my desktop. Is there a way to look at a text input
in my "Test" file that would find A1 in "Inputs" if the text reads
"C:\Documents and Settings\Desktop\Inputs.xls"
