Shame the vanilla script editor can't do that too.
In vanilla Applescript, you can open the library (command-shift-L),
click the plus sign, and add the application to the library panel.
You can then open the app from there.
Ever since Script Editor got the library function, I have never used
the Open command to access a dictionary.

Thanks for pointing out that
can't-see-it-even-though-it's-staring-me-in-the-face feature. :-)
In MY Script Editor's Open Dictionary dialog, additionally, there's a
Browse button, which brings up a standard OS X Open File dialog; an
extra click, to be sure, but once you've used it to open the dictionary
of an app that lives in /Applications, that becomes the default
starting point, as evidenced by this com.Apple.ScriptEditor2.plist
entry:
<key>AppleNavServices:ChooseFile:0:Path</key>
<string>file://localhost/Applications/</string>
What I can't figure out is why sometimes the Open Dictionary dialog
shows only OS X applications and Additions, and other times shows
Classic applications as well; in the latter case, the list is certainly
slower to appear in its entirety, but I don't get the spinning
beachball. The rest of you folks ever empty caches?
