Alas, no.

My BridgePlus script library has a command for it, though:

Applescript:

use scripting additions
use framework "Foundation"
use script "BridgePlus"
load framework

set theResult to current application's SMSForder's URLsFrom:{path to desktop, "/Applications", "~/Documents"}

After reading the wikipedia of URL's https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_URI_scheme
Maybe this is what you want...

Applescript:

use scripting additions
use framework "Foundation"

set theFiles to {"/Users/Robert/Working/New Text File 1.txt", "/Users/Robert/Working/New Text File 2.txt", "/Users/Robert/Working/New Text File 3.txt"}
set theFiles to current application's NSArray's arrayWithArray:theFiles
set theURLs to theFiles's valueForKey:"fileURL"

set urlList to {}
repeat with anURL in theURLs
   set the end of urlList to anURL's |description|() as text
end repeat
return urlList

If you look at my code you also see I use |description| its from Objective-C to return
a string. I have use it many times to debug url's or dictionary. In other words your array
of POSIX's items is all file URLs after valueForKey but when convert it to AS list it become
something else.

My code show that, Its my understanding its AS that convert it to wrong type or something else.

So I did some more research... without repeat loop.

Applescript:

use scripting additions
use framework "Foundation"

set theFiles to {"/Users/Robert/Working/New Text File 1.txt", "/Users/Robert/Working/New Text File 2.txt", "/Users/Robert/Working/New Text File 3.txt"}
set theFiles to current application's NSArray's arrayWithArray:theFiles
set theURLs to theFiles's valueForKey:"fileURL"
set thePList to (theURLs's |description|())'s valueForKey:"propertyList"
return thePList as list

LIKE TO POINT OUT: After a reboot the code above didn't work (Mojave)
PS. So I guess my point is useless

I thought your question was: Is there any key value coding for file URL to convert an array of POSIX paths

1. I show you it was, but its ->AS that change the property to something else.

2. The instance property description show something else ex. file:///

3. To store the values as property list its possible for AS to convert the right key value coding to the right property

Ask yourself why do the instance property description show something else compare to NSArray -> ASList.

I did what you asked and also did it without repeat loop, do you not agree.

Applescript:

use scripting additions
use framework "Foundation"

set theURL to current application's |NSURL|'s fileURLWithPath:"/Users/Robert/Working/New Text File 1.txt"
log (theURL's valueForKey:"fileURL") as boolean
log theURL's |description|() as text

Let me be clear I use Mojave and I did test the code many times and it worked. After a reboot it no longer worked. I later return to the code and it worked again.

I couldn’t explain it more and share it

It looks like consistency is not the greatest part in that code.

Also I used Script Editor
