Maybe [GeanyLua](https://plugins.geany.org/geanylua.html) and something like
```lua
-- Open-file.lua (cross-platform)
-- 2026.08.09
--[[
https://github.com/geany/geany/issues/4645
Supports some simple environment variables: \$[A-Z]+ or %[A-Za-z]+%
]]
local sFN = geany.input("Enter file name:")
if sFN == nil then return end
local sT = string.sub(sFN, 1, 2)
if (sT == "~/") or (sT == "~\\") then
if geany.dirsep == "/" then
sFN = "$HOME/" .. string.sub(sFN, 3, -1)
else
sFN = "%USERPROFILE%\\" .. string.sub(sFN, 3, -1)
end
end
if geany.dirsep == "/" then
sFN = string.gsub(sFN, "%$([A-Z]+)", os.getenv)
else
sFN = string.gsub(sFN, "%%([A-Za-z]+)%%", os.getenv)
end
local sFD, sOF, iR
local aFN = geany.stat(sFN)
if aFN == nil then
sFD = geany.dirname(sFN)
if geany.stat(sFD) == nil then
geany.message('File "' .. sFN .. '" not found.\nDirectory "' .. sFD .. '"
not found.')
return
else
sOF = geany.pickfile("open", sFD, nil)
if sOF == nil then return end
iR = geany.open(sOF)
end
else
iR = geany.open(sFN)
end
if iR == 0 then
geany.message("Fail.")
end
```
