Create a virtual directory for file IO common dialogs from file paths

Question

I've got an archive containing various files. Would there be a method to list out these files in directories (as dictated by their relative paths) in a common dialog (or a custom dialog for that matter) without having to extract the files or create any directory structure on the file system ? The archive reading code is at my disposal.

I have to warn you it's not going to be easy. But you can get a head start by checking out this CodeProject article.
