No, it's not possible. iD was designed to be a browser-based, online editor for less complex uses (and users). As such, loading and saving data in files was not part of the original specification, and it hasn't been implemented.

(for the avoidance of doubt) note that you can open a local .GPX file though - just drag and drop it onto the editor.
