This can be achieved by writing a small script in a programming language such as JavaScript. In this script, an event handler is set up to detect when the left button on the mouse is released. Within the event handler function, code can be written to open the file dialog. This can be done using HTML or other web frameworks to create a button or another UI element that appears on the page. When the left mouse button is released, the file dialog is opened, allowing the user to select a file for upload or any other purpose. The code might look something like this:

const button = document.querySelector('#upload-button');

button.addEventListener('mouseup', () => {
  const fileDialog = document.querySelector('#file-dialog');
  fileDialog.click();
});

In this example, the script is selecting a button on the page with an ID of "upload-button". It sets up an event listener for the "mouseup" event, which is fired when the left mouse button is released. When this happens, the file dialog with an ID of "file-dialog" is clicked, which opens the file selection dialog. This is just one possible approach, and there are many ways to achieve this same functionality in different programming environments.
