How simple does it need to be? All the GUI's allow for
argement passing to a executable.

... I type an alias:

   cdburn /var/ftp/pub/mirror/OBSD-30/cd-1.img

and get an Open BSD copy --- not that cdburn is much:

#!/bin/sh
#
#
#
MYNAME=`basename $0`
[ "x$1" = "x" ] && {
        echo "Usage: $MYNAME (isoname)" 1>&2
        exit 1
        }
[ ! -s $1 ] && {
        echo "Error: $MYNAME: (isoname) is missing or null" 1>&2
        exit 1
        }
/usr/bin/cdrecord -v dev=0,0,0 -speed=4 -eject $1
