This works.  Thank-you, Fred.

This does not work.  That '+' does not pop up a browser or do anything 
else until after a directory/file has been selected.

This works.  Thank-you, Rick.

Works for me. Open Brasero, click on the "Data project (Create a data
CD/DVD)" button and a new window opens up with a big "+", a big "-" and
a broom in the upper left corner. At least it does for me on Xfce.

Glad to help. Odd that you don't get the add/delete/clear (+/-/broom)
bits.

Brasero: can't choose a directory. [SOLVED]

I was trying Brasero in Gnome and Plasma.  I gather that makes a difference.  It might also matter that I was root, not a regular user when I tried your suggestions.
