Uhh...that's the import feature for templates. It lets you import 
templates. That's why it is under the "Templates" menu.

This would be partially correct. *.obj files are not "OpenGL objects", 
there is no such thing. From what I can tell, they are Wavefront files. 
POV-Ray can not directly handle *.obj files.

You will have to use an external program. You might want to start with a 
web search:
