Is it the way to go?

That depends on the information you're omitting.

Do you want icon view in your file picker?

It depends on your OS. Do you want functional high-resolution support on your Windows applications? GTK for Windows still doesn't handle that all that well. Also, GTK apps on Windows stick out like a sore thumb. The only good options for UI on Windows are:
1. Shove your application into node-webkit or Chromium Embedded Framework (you don't get multi-monitor DPI) or Edge (technically doable but you get to write the wrapper yourself)
2. Write your own TK in D3D or OpenGL (lots of work, easy to screw up)
3. Write everything to run in an AppContainer so you can use Modern UI XAML (easy, supports all the corner cases well, but requires the user manually approve installing unsigned AppX packages in Win10)
I would personally say #3 but you basically lock yourself into Windows 10 specifically and I know /g/ doesn't like that.
OSX is easy: just use the default UI widgets (AppKit I think it's called), they handle DPI for you and size everything in virtual pixels. You have to learn Objective-C or Swift, boohoo.
Linux is complicated. GTK is likely to have the user's desired theme at least on Ubuntu, but it's DPI handling is about as bad as it is on Windows. That is to say, it scales nothing but type, which is unacceptably bad. At least, that's what it did when I was trying to develop software on a 4K monitor for Ubuntu. QT apps didn't seem to be much better and the only thing that could actually scale itself properly on Linux was Chrome of all things.

sure

Yes. GTK2 that is.

Does anyone know how to get the KDE file picker (kdialog) to open for chromium in a non-KDE desktop (i3)? I can't find shit about it on Google.
