Sheets are a bit of a pain with AppleScriptObjC, but Myriad Helpers helps a lot. To use the NSOpenSave+MyriadHelpers category, add their .h and .m files to your Xcode project using the File > Add Files to … menu item. From a new (default) AppleScript App project, for example, you could do something like:

on applicationDidFinishLaunching_(aNotification)
    tell current application's NSOpenPanel's openPanel()
        its setMessage:"Please select a file:"
        its setPrompt:"Choose"
        its setDirectoryURL:(current application's NSURL's fileURLWithPath:(POSIX path of (path to desktop)))

        its setCanChooseFiles:true
        its setCanChooseDirectories:false
        its setAllowsMultipleSelection:true
        its setAllowedFileTypes:{"png"} -- list of extensions or UTIs

        its showOver:theWindow calling:{"panelCompletion:", me}
    end tell
end

on panelCompletion:openItems
    if openItems is missing value then -- "Cancel" button
        log "Cancel"
        return -- or whatever
    end if
    repeat with anItem in openItems as list
        log anItem -- do your thing with the individual file paths
    end repeat
end panelCompletion:
