Of course it would be nice to have some kind of favorite,  but that's not an 
easy hack. And dialogs are very different for all supported OS. It might be an 
option to add controls like a dropdown but devs cannot override the defaults 
of the dialog.

We have two dialogs, one for the actual files with the function to load or to 
save depending on how it was opened, and another where you configure the 
service. Such a service can be WebDAV, for instance, or Google Drive. 
Depending on this type you have to enter more or less specifications. Plus, 
you have to give the child a name, like WebDAV@UserPrompt to make more than 
one service on a certain type possible. This type:label identification is 
prompted at the files dialog. Sounds pretty straightforward to me.
