On Unix and GNU/Linux platforms, Emacs does that when built with LessTif and Motif toolkits; on MS-Windows, the GUI version does that by default. as follows: When Emacs is built with a suitable GUI toolkit, commands invoked with the mouse use standard File Selection dialog of that toolkit instead of prompting for the file name in the minibuffer. On Unix and GNU/Linux platforms, Emacs does that when built with GTK, LessTif, and Motif toolkits; on MS-Windows, the GUI version does that by default. However, is that correct nowadays? Or is more changed needed?
