Why do you want to limit it "for now"?  Open dialogs should be able to suggest a file to open in the same way. If the platform doesn't support it then let it be a no-op on that platform.  Just document the behaviour clearly.
Maybe you could add an API to query if it is supported, but I don't think it is important enough to know for sure if it is supported or not.
