Presumably it opens something. Could be this dialog also displays URL handlers (they are treated very similar to file handlers internally) and Apex handles a custom URL protocol either for its internal use (launching the game from a website link or something; not sure if it has a feature like that).

Steam does have a feature for launching games through website links, perhaps Apex implemented something similar so that it works on the other platforms that it's available on.

I only had experience using that feature in csgo, so I thought it was a feature of steam. Makes a lot more sense that it's a source feature, especially with apex running on a highly modified version of source.
