A way to type paths using Environment Variables in the open menu

[willnode]

In the open menu, I should can use something like %WINDIR% in Windows or $HOME in Linux.

This is a natural behavior when using Windows Explorer, so I expect this works on the open menu. Currently, it creates file named %WINDIR% while I expect it should be expanded to C:\Windows.

It would be nice if we could just type out the folder path in general rather than having to use the tree-like browser. Also the information hierarchy is pretty awkward right now in the UI:

Folder Path
File Name
Folder Browser

Windows' various GUI Save-As dialogs organize it better:

Folder Path (editable)
Folder Browser
File Name
File Type

And support for ~ in addition to %USERPROFILE% would be nice as well.

You can type the folder path in the file name field. This is also true with Windows Explorer.
