The GUI master branch does have an "import config file" menu. Its very
basic and works only if the config file is self-contained with key, cert
etc. as no additional files are imported. The config file gets copied to
the users' config folder and gets added to the menu from where it could be
started.

As discussed here https://github.com/OpenVPN/openvpn-gui/issues/61 and
based on a feature request on trac (?) we now plan (PR #62) to use file
association of .ovpn to select the editor from "Edit config" menu in the
GUI. It will default to notepad.exe if no file association is found. This
allows the user to associate .ovpn with an editor of their choice. Instead,
if we associate it with openvpn-gui as suggested above, we have to decide
what to do for using user-defined editor for .ovpn files.
