No, he wants to use thins function in hin own program/script.

something like that:
#! /bin/sh
#
# some commands
#
MYVAR=/usr/bin/programm_that_returns_path #starts a filebrowser like the 
'open'-function in open-office or something like that and let the user 
choose a file
printf "you have choosen the file"
echo $MYVAR
echo done.
