we will use the good old html input element of type file and hid it then have the react component interact with the html element using useRef

const ImageInput = (props: Props) => {
	const selectFileRef = useRef<HTMLInputElement>(null);//this will be the html-input instance 
	return (
		<Flex justify="center" align="center" width="100%">
			<Flex
				justify="center"
				align="center"
				p="20"
				border="1px dashed"
				borderColor="gray.400"
				width="100%">
				<Button
					variant="outline"
					height="28px"
					onClick={() => selectFileRef.current?.click()}>
					Upload
				</Button>
			</Flex>
			<input type="file" hidden ref={selectFileRef} />
		</Flex>
	);
};

when you click the button it should open the file system
