The Internal game picker UI is 'dumb' in that it only lists what is available/found as far as folders or .zip/.7z files are concerned. It doesn't check the contents of said folders (compressed or not) so it is essentially a failsafe to show something when the binary is double clicked. Imagine not too many years ago there was NO picker mechanism and double clicking simply popped up a console window for a moment and disappeared just as quickly.... how confusing!
That said, there are many front-ends which will achieve your goal. There are various UI flavors which include the emulator itself (MAMEUI, UIFX, MEWUI) and others which you can provide your binary (QMC2, IV/Play, Emuloader) as well as many high end front-ends like Hyperspin and GameEX which in the end are not free.
