Opening another file in the same application is very simple with drag
and drop (and should also be trivial using the context menu). I wonder
if a "File->Open Folder" item would be useful. This would make it
trivial to open (or bringt to front) the folder where the current
document is located in, without keeping it open all the time. In any
case, I don't see why you need dialogs for this.
