Common Dialogs are those options of saving a file, opening a file, selecting a font, a color... Most of them will offer a full Explorer functionality. This means that you will be able to access Explorer functionalities if you can access these options:
Close/Close as
Open/Open with
Export/Import
Search
Scan
You should check if you can:
Modify or create new files
Create symbolic links
Get access to restricted areas
Execute other apps
Maybe using a Open with option** you can open/execute some kind of shell.
For example cmd.exe, command.com, Powershell/Powershell ISE, mmc.exe, at.exe, taskschd.msc... find more binaries that can be used to execute commands (and perform unexpected actions) here: https://lolbas-project.github.io/
