Both of those require knowing where Safari.app lives. If all I have
is (application "Safari"), what's the first step?

Well, it's a POSIX path, but "POSIX file" doesn't like it either - it

shell script here, but it works:
set downloadFolder to (POSIX file (do shell script "echo " & dlLoc)) as alias
