In Google Chrome's minimalist brilliance, they seem to have forgotten a menu item to launch a dialog box to open a local file.
How to get around this?
I don't want to drag local files onto the Chrome window (which works) or type file:// in the address bar (also works). I want my dialog box

On OS X, you can choose "Open File" from the File menu, or use the ⌘ + O keyboard shortcut.
For Windows and Linux, you can use ctrl + O. This does not seem to be referenced anywhere in the application, so you can feel special about using it.
