By "wildcards in the name" are you saying that there are literal wildcards,
or that you want OPEN to pick some filename that matches a pattern?
If you meant non-literal (as implied by "... I could translate ...") that
is not a thing you can do. Probably call DIRECTORY first to match something
and pick the file you want.
Literals can be escaped in the argument to open.  "~/f-\\?\\?.txt"
