Help direct link to video on homescreen possible ?

Is it possible to put a shortcut/direct link on my homescreen to a video that is stored on my phone. I want to touch the icon and the movies starts instead of finding the video player then the movie, then starting it .
Not sure. Easiest way would probably be to just create a folder on your homepage and place the video in that folder. Click once to open, click again on the file. Poking around I don't see a way to place the file directly on the home screen.

I've created a folder on my homepage but can't figure out how to "place the video in that folder." My Files let's me copy the video (from my external_sd) but I can't see how to paste to the folder on my homepage.
