How to change current Finder window (inside an app, for instance) to a specific folder?

Hi. with your example, let's say I go to Chrome and click on "Upload image" and press the shortcut - a Finder window opens. Instead of the "Upload image" Finder dialog changing to the correct folder.

Is there a way for creating a shortcut which will change the currently-selected Finder window to the folder of choice. Not open a Finder window, unless nothing is selected?

Yes, if I understand you correctly.

This actually has nothing to do with the Finder, but with the macOS standard open/save dialog, that looks like this:

How to Select a Specific File in an Open or Save Dialog Window

Hey Costa, In any Open or Save dialog you can hit ⌘⇧G to bring up a sheet to type or paste a path string into. So your sequence would be something like: Type a Keystroke ⌘⇧G Pause Until a button named “Go” exists. Insert Text by Pasting your complete posix path string to the file. Press a Button “Go”. Pause Until a button named “Choose” is active. Press a Button “Choose”. -Chris

Instead of pasting the path to the file, you can just paste the path to the folder.
