I don't understand where is the problem? Press "add to library...", select an image, and import. That works exactly the same as the "import image" button from darktable 3.4.
The only differences are that now you can use the same dialog to import both single images and full folders, and that the "copy and import" button has gained the ability to not only copy from a card reader/camera, but also from any folder in the computer.
