The short answer is that this does not exist.

The longer experimental answer would be to set up a fileDialog something 
like this:

myfilename = scribus.fileDialog('My File Name', 'SLA files (*.sla)')

which should at least bring up a way to find the SLA filename, and load 
its name into myfilename, for you to use for your text frame.
