I think the answer given to this problem isn't what the originator
expected - or only a partial solution.

I assume that the originator of the question had something like the open
dialog of QEdit in mind, which isn't the SFGetFile dialog. The standard
File/Open... technique of Multifinder won't work.

I didn't try, but you should be able to install a HIRARCHICAL menu that
contains a menu item that calls up the standard SFGetFile dialog, then
point your mstr resources to that menu. This should work and give you
what you wanted, an open event.
