FolderSeek option?

I'm looking for a function, plugin, etc. that has the ability to search for FOLDERS instead of files.

I was hoping to find something that would work similiar to the FileSeek function built-in to NSIS. I've not been able to find anything like this. Any ideas?

😕

Perhaps some more background:
I want to be able to start with a base folder $X and be able to get a list of all subfolders within. But I only need to go down one level ($X\folder1, $X\folder2, etc.)

The only problem is that I'm not going to know the exact name of the folders.
