Not directly.
One way is to choose a folder on the desktop and parse the resulting
alias to get to the desktop folder of the selected disk whose folder was
chosen originally.
Another way is "path to desktop" from standard additions, which gives the
path to the desktop folder of the boot disk, so it won't work if you are
looking for the desktop of non boot disks.
I recall a thread about strange occurances with moving files to/from
desktop folder(s). Proceed with caution
