This bug exists in the 3.x as well.

The check may be incorrect here and should be removed:

godot/modules/gdscript/gdscript_utility_functions.cpp

Lines 305 to 314 in 7bffdca

	if (!p->path.is_resource_file()) {
	r_error.error = Callable::CallError::CALL_ERROR_INVALID_ARGUMENT;
	r_error.argument = 0;
	r_error.expected = Variant::DICTIONARY;
	*r_ret = Variant();
	*r_ret = RTR("Not based on a resource file");
	return;
	}

I tested in 3.5 and it works.

@KoBeWi Are you sure?:

You must test it with a built-in script, run the following project in 3.5 stable version of Godot:
Test.zip

Ok I think I misread the issue. It's indeed broken in both versions.

But I think this is just a limitation. The method requires a script path to work, otherwise you won't be able to de-serialize the object. It's not possible to obtain a built-in resource from external scene (it's just not implemented. You can't preload them for the same reason).

Then I suggest adding the note to the documentation of this method.
