Using file picker component in SharePoint Framework Web Part

Is it somehow possible to use the file picker control which is being used by Microsofts Client-Side Web Parts (like the Document or Quick links Web Parts) in our own Web Parts?

 

 

I have the requirement to implement a file picker for a certain Web Part and it would be great to use the "standard" one which is already being used by Microsoft.

      I don't think there is a ready-to-use component for it. If you'd like to use it, you'd need to build it yourself using the building blocks from Office UI Fabric.

        Waldek Mastykarz are there any plans from Microsoft to release a file picker ( Asset Picker ) component anytime in the future?

        in Classic SharePoint there was an already component that we can just utilize.
