I don't know of any, sorry.

I don't think that that will work. The shell will get a new current
directory, but I don't think alpine will be told about the change.

I am not actually sure how alpine uses current directory.
I see that when saving attachments there are options
ctrl-y and ctrl-v to scroll through recent directories
and up and down arrows to scroll through recent files.

Are those options any help ?
