The macro language has similar options:

http://rsb.info.nih.gov/ij/developer/macro/functions.html#F

*File.openDialog(title)* - Displays a file open dialog and returns the
path to the file choosen by the user (example
<http://rsb.info.nih.gov/ij/macros/OpenDialogDemo.txt>). The macro exits
if the user cancels the dialog. Requires 1.39d.
