They both select a file. And since that is the main usage of the dialog I'm
not sure why you think they should be seen as different.

My ideas on GUI is that as soon as one idea has proven itself to be useful
(and thus has become familiar) it should be used elsewhere unless it can cause
confusion.

I think the ideas (and method of working) of the file-open dialog _can_ be
used for inserting clipart without causing confusion.
Don't you agree?
