Of course.

I think it we need to suggest a different word. Free will implies the freedom to do anything, which I don't believe humans have. I do believe in free agency however. It's like how you said - how do you choose thoughts? With thoughts? It's hard to find the bottom of it, and maybe there isn't even a bottom to it, which is where our free agency comes in. We have the freedom to make decisions and choices within a certain frame. Hence the doors question. We don't choose how many doors there are, we just get to choose which one we go in.
