Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/838

Is there a way to whitelist only those file that are used as arguments for the command?

Like: "firejail programm fileToOpen"

That way it would be possible to block access to the complete filesystem except for the specified file.

Currently no, but I am working on this now. I will send pull request when I am done (Friday or Sunday I think).

Sorry, I have had no spare time this month.
Putting current version here.
It's seems working, but still needs to be cleaned, tested thoughtfully, and documented.

The easiest way (currently) is to setup a wrapper script. I might look into doing this if @manevich didn't merge their changes.

I think the tricky (with regards to security) part of this is that we'd have to (safely) parse the child program's argument list, which brings with it a whole host of issues (potentially).
