Can XYplorer replace system file dialogs?

Can XYplorer replace system file dialogs like a dialog by open folder button in Skype? I know that DO can do it, but XYPlorer opens Explorer panel.
The system file dialogs are implemented by calls to the functions and interfaces in C:\windows\system32\COMDLG32.DLL. You can open up COMDLG32.DLL in Resource Hacker and see all the dialogs there and even modify certain aspects of them (such as to make them bigger).
The only application that I know of that currently exists that patches COMDLG32.DLL and intercepts and replaces system file / open / save dialogs is 3delite Filesystem Dialogs Library and its commercial implementation 3delite Vanga Rengi Mangaro.
