If you look at the address bar in Nautilus, you'll see things like:
"smb://computer-name/share-name/file-path/filename" which you may be
able to use in other applications. But it's been my experience that few
applications can directly use a resource that way.
Make a mount entry for it in your /etc/fstab file, and map it to your
directory tree, then most things can use it like any other filepath on
your system.
e.g. Something like the following:
//computer/share /mnt/computer/share smbfs auto
(Change the "auto" to "noauto" if you don't want it automatically
mounted when you boot.)
See: man mount
man fstab
