Description
Currently, calling `druid::commands::SHOW_OPEN_PANEL` with a Target that isn't a window, will result in nothing happening, and no warning is produced.
A PR already exists to add a warning, but as per @cmyr, [here](https://xi.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/255910-druid-help/topic/Bug.20with.20druid.3A.3Acomands.3A.3ASHOW_OPEN_PANEL.3F/near/238230415), global open dialogs should be a thing.

Research direction
Start at the handling for druid::commands::SHOW_OPEN_PANEL and trace how its Target is interpreted. Determine how an open dialog can be associated without a particular window, then verify that calling the command with a non-window Target opens the dialog rather than doing nothing.
