File browser UI?

What's the recommended way to make ConfigUI that identifies a file in the filesystem (that isn't part of the Indigo data, necessarily, and definitely outside the plugin itself)?

What I'd like is a ConfigUI XML element or type that puts up a standard file (open) dialog and returns an OS bookmark that can be stored and resolved next time. Is there anything like that available?

Obviously, I can just present the user with a text field, have them type in the full path, and validate the file for them. But that's so utterly un-Mac like, isn't it? :-)

Cheers

I'd like one too - unfortunately it won't happen for 5.0. So, for the moment, it's file path with validation.
