Yes, this is an ajax thing. CFWindow might have something for this (don't remember), but you don't have a lot of control after that. You're better off creating your own, with something like JQueryUI, or (even better) Twitter Bootstrap, then using JQuery's .load() method to pull in an html fragment. Basically, you create the html "box" of the modal in your page html, then a javascript method opens the window, calls your server for your html fragment (maybe just a cfm page, for instance) and puts the return into your "box"/modal.
If you don't have a lot of JS chops, I would look up some tutorials.
