If I am understanding correctly, you are wanting the user to point to a folder and showing the files in that folder? Or having them point to a specific file there?

If that's correct, you can use a free plugin for either of those cases: http://www.goya.com.au/baseelements/plugin

If it is strictly the latter case (to point to a specific file), you can set up a global container field and use the Insert File script step to let the user find/select the file they want, get the file path/name by using GetAsText( table::containerField ), and then clear the container now that you have the path.
