Default Folder X 6.1
I missed reporting on last year’s Default Folder X 6:
[Quick Search] gives you keyboard-based access to Recent and Favorite Items, including recently-launched applications and recently-used Finder windows. Note that it does NOT search your whole Mac, it searches the files, folders and apps that Default Folder X remembers for you. In most cases, it will find exactly what you want without showing all the extra stuff you don’t want.
[…]
In Save As dialogs, the box where you type the filename is way too small. How ’bout we fix that?
[…]
You can now drag and drop files and folders onto Default Folder X’s icon in your menu bar. When you do, it will pop up its menu so you can select a destination for them.
[…]
Automatically perform actions on a file after you save it. This can be as simple as immediately opening the saved file or attaching it to an email, or as complex as using AppleScript, Automator or Shortcuts to process the saved file in some customized way.
Default Folder X 6.1 (release notes):
In addition to Sequoia compatibility, Default Folder X 6.1 also opens favorite URLs from its Quick Search window, can open folders in the Warp terminal app, and fixes a number of bugs that cropped up in version 6.0.8.
It’s $39.95 to buy or $9.95 to upgrade. I used Default Folder a lot back in the day, but since Mac OS X I’ve mostly been using LaunchBar to help with open/save panels. Now I’m considering whether I should level up.

Curious how you use Launchbar to manage open and save dialogs – is there some kind of integration I'm not aware of?
Similarly, I use Trickster to drag a recent file from it to the open panel to switch to the folder of that file.
I just use CMD+Shift+G after finding the path in a separate finder window. I might use the Find Any File app or the Folder Search app by the Rocket Emoji dev in the future.
