The Windows "Open with" window comes up the same whether desktop or modern interfaces.
It is a window opened by the OS and is not an .exe such as File Explorer (C:\windows\explorer.exe) is for example and so cannot be opened directly. So it would seem the only way to get to it would be developing special code to do so. It is probably possible to do that (it is in earlier versions of Windows and am assuming Win 8 is the same) but whether it could be built into a plugin/Calibre or not I could not comment on, and even if so it may turn out that because the OS itself is not the first initiator of the OS's "Open with" window's opening one may still run into security blocks preventing the opening of a Store App from it.
So you likely need someone to look into how and if it is possible to code it into Calibre/plugin. I suspect there will not be much enthusiasm for such an adventure
