Opening non-supported files with a macro

Hi,
I am writing a macro to load images from a thermal imaging system.
I can import the data with the File>Import command but I want to have a macro
that will let me choose which file to open.

If I use the open() macro function, it expects to open a file in a supported
format, but of course I only want to get the file name through the file
chooser.

Is there a way to do this (get a non-supported file name using a file chooser)
with a macro (instead of a plugin)?

Thanks

Gabriel
