Opening files with OS file manager? (solved)

[CrazyAmphibian]

is it possible to use the user’s operating system file manager (such as windows’ ‘file explorer’) to select and open files (read and write to them), and would an implementation work for all (desktop) operating systems?
attached are two images of what i mean.

sorry if the answer is obvious, i’m kinda new to this.

There’s an excellent native extension for that: https://github.com/Vbif/def-diags
