I'm a +1 on fixing this. I have tried a few times in the past but I have never come up with something that I like.
IMO I think having a single dialog (or not if we can) + the browser is good. I have some tickets open with concepts but I'm not sure I would do it like that now. The browser is a powerful tool so I'm really +1 for finding any holes and fixing those first.
