You are probably using Monaco in a web page, right? So, you are limited by what the Web browser allows. It will never give you a full file name, but you can let the user pick a file, for which you get a file handle to load its content and you can use the download feature of the browser, to write the file to disk. But this will never be the original file (unless the user picked that from his/her download folder).
That means using monaco-editor as a general purpose text editor is probably not working well, unless you embed it in a native frame (like vscode does) to do the real file work for you.
