I think I need to add something to Alex's answer.

I tried to open the Open window by using this code:

driver.findElement(My element).click()

The window opened, but the driver became unresponsive and the actions in the code didn't even get to the Robot's actions. I do not know the reason why this happens, probably because the browser lost focus.

The way I made it work was by using the Actions selenium class:

 Actions builder = new Actions(driver);

 Action myAction = builder.click(driver.findElement(My Element))
       .release()
       .build();

    myAction.perform();

    Robot robot = new Robot();
    robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_CONTROL);
    robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_V);
    robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_V);
    robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_CONTROL);
    robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_ENTER);
    robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_ENTER);
