--- Comment #1 from V Stuart Foote <vstuart.fo...@utsa.edu> ---
OK, had to think about what was being requested. It would be to pick the file
to compare from user profile recents. Use case makes sense.

--Online Help-- 
https://help.libreoffice.org/7.0/en-US/text/shared/01/02240000.html?&DbPAR=WRITER&System=WIN

The Edit -> Track Changes -> Compare Document uses os/DE default file manager,
calling the filedlghelper() flaged for InsertCompare

Probably not an easy hack as the File Dialog Helper is not plumbed for it. But
seems it should be possible to alternatively direct the file selection for the
document compare to the user's profile 'HistoryInfo' holding a users 'Recent
Documents' list, as accessed now for opening via the File menu, or via the
StartCenter--may be able to reuse that.

=ref-=
looks like work on bug 95992 touched a lot of this to get the os/DE file
dialogs labeled correctly for compare or merge documents. New work of course to
point at the user profile...
