Doesn't menu File > Open File do what you request,
by default? Likewise, other file operations, such
as File > Insert File, File > Save As, and File >
Open Directory.
On MS Windows, for example, this just uses the usual
Windows file selection dialog box.
This depends on the value of option `use-file-dialog',
but that's `t' by default (as is `use-dialog-box').
"Non-nil means mouse commands use a file dialog to ask for files.
This applies to commands from menus and tool bar buttons even when
they are initiated from the keyboard. If 'use-dialog-box' is nil,
that disables the use of a file dialog, regardless of the value of
this variable."
