Something like this:

There already is such a menu entry in the sample list inside an instrument. Or did you mean something else?

If you want to duplicate this for the instrument box, this is a start:

Click to view contents 
local function load_sample()
  local path = renoise.app():prompt_for_filename_to_read({"*"}, "Select sample")
  if (path == "") then return end -- user pressed cancel
  local inst = renoise.song().selected_instrument
  local sample_index = #inst.samples + 1
  local sample = inst:insert_sample_at(sample_index)
 
  sample.sample_buffer:load_from(path)
  -- illegal file was chosen. remove sample slot.
  if (sample.sample_buffer.number_of_frames == 0) then
    inst:delete_sample_at(sample_index)
  else
    -- do renaming of instr and/or sample here
  end
end

renoise.tool():add_menu_entry {
  name = "Instrument Box:Load Sample...",
  invoke = load_sample
}
