Found it!
Create your form and use my code from here to give that form your own icon.
Then, from a button for example on the form, you open the OpenFile dialog, using your function. The dialog will then have the icon used in your form.
# start the code with your own function to show the OpenFile dialog
function Invoke-OpenFileDialog {
Param (
[Parameter(Mandatory=$true, Position=0)] [string] $Title,
[Parameter(Mandatory=$true, Position=1)] [string] $InitialDirectory,
[Parameter(Mandatory=$true, Position=2)] [string] $Filter
)
if ($InitialDirectory -ne "") {
if (!(Test-Path -LiteralPath $InitialDirectory -PathType Container)) {
$InitialDirectory = ([System.IO.FileInfo]$InitialDirectory).DirectoryName
}
}
$OpenFileDialog = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.OpenFileDialog
$OpenFileDialog.Filter = $Filter
$OpenFileDialog.InitialDirectory = $InitialDirectory
$OpenFileDialog.Title = $Title
$result = $OpenFileDialog.ShowDialog()
$OpenFileDialog.Dispose()
if ($result -eq 'OK') {
return $OpenFileDialog.FileName
}
else { return "" }
}
# next, create your form (just a simple demo below) and from there show the dialog
# (I'm using a button on the form to do this)

Now, if you run this, you'll see the form:
and if you click the button, the dialog shows up, including your forms icon:
You can do this for a WPF UI aswell, although setting a WPF form with an embedded icon is slightly different:
# start the code with your own function to show the OpenFile dialog
function Invoke-OpenFileDialog {
