The answer to that would depend on whatever "desktop environment" you
have.

XFCE in Debian 10.

Typically you'd have some kind of file manager, where you can visually
browse your file system. Files there are represented by small icons,
which you can drag and drop onto that mpv window. If the file contents
is something mpv can grok, it will do it.

Ah, yes; now I remember.  But I escaped that sort of environment
twenty years ago, and I do not wish ever again to go near it.
The command line works for mpv, and that is the approach I much
prefer.  The nondescript black window without a menu conjured by the
APPLICATION menu was frustrating; I categorize that sort of interface
as stupid.

Thanks, guys.
