I would like to use SystemDialogInput with FileOpen, but restrict the type
of file the user may select. For example, only allow the user to select
files like "*.csv". Is there a way to do this?

something like this should work:

SystemDialogInput["FileOpen", {"default.csv", {"CSV" -> {"*.csv"}}}]

The documentation for SystemDialogInput[] gives the specification for this. In
your example,

SystemDialogInput["FileOpen", {"", {"CSV Files" -> {"*.csv"}}}]
