I think you are asking that you want to open up the file upload dialog with a click of something other than the input element itself.

You can not just open up the file upload dialog since that is sort of a thing we call a security issue. You can style the input field to make it look like something else

<button onclick="window.open('the_page_containing_the_upload_form.html', 'Upload form')">Upload</button>
