This 2 AHK scripts from the same Author make life much easier.
Both support many file managers including XY of course.

QuickSwitch allows to switch to file managers current folder in standard file open/save dialogs.

JumpToFolder uses Everything search to jump to search results (file or folder)
in the file manager.
It also supports Everything search in standard file open/save dialogs.

I was having some issues with QuickSwitch not recognizing some application dialogs.

The author reached out and gave me some usage tips on how I could overcome these problematic dialogs.

It worked great and I have had no issues since. For anyone else that may benefit, here is the advice I was given...

One suggestion I can make right now:
QuickSwitch "calculates" the number of (hidden/normal) windows between the most recent used file manager and the file dialog. In 95% of the cases, this is 2 windows, like for example (1) Notepad's Open dialog, (2) Notepad and (3) File Explorer.

When you have AutoSwitch enabled for the remaining 5%, you can follow these steps:

• Open the unwilling file dialog.
  (Nothing will happen as QuickSwitch doesn't understand/ miscalculates)
• Press 'CTRL + Q'
• Select AutoSwitch exception from the QuickSwitch menu
• Follow the on-screen steps
  In short, this lets QuickSwitch figure out and learn what the correct "window-distance" is for this specific application.
