ahh. Ofnuts posted a good explanation while I was making example:
FWIW:
Not going into a long discourse of why Gimp does not try and emulate other applications. Its roots go back to a UNIX program, now a Linux program. Look up GTK on Wikipedia. It is ported to Windows for your use.
There are applications like XnViewMP which give that table-of-icons view and will open selected files with a program such as Gimp.
Windows explorer can be used for drag-n-wish if you want. Drag the selected files to the area top of the toolbox.

...and if you want to save all the open images there is a script that can help see: https://www.lauchlin.com/2014/04/21/save...from-gimp/
