A bit of a variation on what João is suggesting, but I think a simple [cnv]-like gui object that will take a drag-and-drop file and output the path and filename would be nice. Something that just defines an area to drop on. Then you could just do simple things like stick the [cnv] behind an array and drop a soundfile on it to load, for example.
