No, it is not impossible. It is a bit of a hack though, and your patch looks like it might be better if it works. FYI there is a "Filter" dropdown on the Open File dialog, which has "All Files (*.*)" and "Directories" as its options. If you select "Directories", then the current directory will be opened when you press OK.
