Limited research but probly these next links could help:

- [Goto in this post](https://forum.processing.org/two/discussion/17982/is-there-a-way-to-have-selectinput-select-files-in-the-sketchbook-folder-data-folder)

- [The docs which you might have seen (nothing about extensions)](https://processing.org/reference/selectInput_.html)

- Checking the [source code](https://github.com/processing/processing/blob/master/core/src/processing/core/PApplet.java#L50), you need to check _JFileChooser_ and probly _FileChooser_’s documentation and use those libraries directly if it fits your use case requirements.
