Is there anything in D that currently brings up a window to

Yeah, on Windows, you can just call the GetOpenFileName function
(or GetSaveFileName if saving) and use the common dialog.

I wrote this quick example to show how you can use it in D:
http://arsdnet.net/dcode/open.d
Since the windows headers distributed with dmd are woefully
incomplete, the first thing I did was copy/paste the struct and
file definition from MSDN.
Then, below that, is the main() function which shows how to call
it. There's a lot of customization you can do there, see the
Microsoft docs for more info (or search the web for any C
examples, the function works the same way in D.)
