But it seems this is explicitely blocked:

Error in file(filename, "r", encoding = encoding): cannot open the connection 
In addition:

Each r-visual also seems to operate in its own VM environment, so if you export something to "C:\Reports" with one visual, the other visual doesn't see it in "C:\Reports".

 

If this was possible, one could use one visual to parse the code from "Get Data -> Folder", and the others could load it from "C:\Reports" when available with something like:

while (!file.exists('parsed.r')) {
  Sys.sleep(0.01)
}
load('parsed.r')

Pff, getting out of ideas...
