File open dialog to just get the user selected file name

Question

Hi,
I am working on asynchronous file storage to KPRO through my ABAP WD application. For this asynchronous upload
operation, I just need the file name and file path(not the content). The KPRO servers could be made to use SAPFTP, SAPHTTP in the background to upload documents (triggered via tRFC's).
Is it possible to have a file open dialog (similar to java file open) which just returns the file path and file name instead of the
content? Current fileUpload UI element also loads the content which is not desired behaviour for me (because could be a performance problem with large documents uploading).
Is it possible to select multiple filenames? Thomas Jung's Flash island multiple upload works, but not in my
asynchronous scenario. Because flex fileReferenceList + upload operation works synchronously.

You must remember the START-OF-SELECTION event here,  after you select the file name and click F8, the START-OF-SELECTION event is triggered, but if it is not there, nothing will happen.
  if sy-subrc <> 0 or l_rc < 0.
    message id sy-msgid type sy-msgty number sy-msgno       "mo271101
    with sy-msgv1 sy-msgv2 sy-msgv3 sy-msgv4.
  else.                                                     "mo271101
    read table l_files index 1 into h_files.
    auszfile = h_files-filename.
  endif.
start-of-selection.            "<--  Add this
  write:/ auszfile.
