Is there a dialog for selecting removable HDDs?
When using WinUAE, it's easy to select End+F1 on the keyboard to bring up the Windows dialog to select a floppy disk for DF0:, but I'm wondering if there's something like that for RDH0:? It would be easier than dragging and dropping all the time

Not that I know of.
...and I guess the reason is that hard drive files are very different to disk images i.e. after adding you then need to reset or restart in order for the changes to be picked up. |

This is how I add removable drives at the moment: After starting WinUAE and selecting a config, I'm in Workbench, so I press the middle mouse button to go to Windows, and I usually have to have a WinExplorer window open to drag files from. When I do this, I drag them down to the WinUAE icon in the Taskbar (the second one that appeared when I started WinUAE) and release. Then I'm back in Workbench and carry on as normal. I just figured that an approach similar to floppies, as I described, would be a simpler way of adding them

HDF's are meant to be used like actual hard drives, not removed & inserted like floppies.

There is also the Alt-Tab method, which involves a lot less dragging, so there's that.

Do you mean you'd like to have floppy insert keyboard shortcut like dialog for on the fly inserting directory harddrive/archive path?
I think there is one problem that needs solving first, selecting directory vs selecting file requires different dialog flags and I am not going to add two shortcuts
