This isn't even correct as there may be directories without the file
inside them.

Moreover, I was looking for something short to type, and possibly
compatible with completion widgets, such as expand-or-complete.
Otherwise, there would be a solution to use a function that does
what I want, of the form $(dirfile 'dirpattern' 'filepattern')
but this is not satisfactory.
