You can bypass the GPDL and make your own (with a lot more control over the
dialog, but a lot more work). Heres a very crude example:

on runPropertyDialog me, currentPDList
  MUIObject = Xtra("MUI").new()
  if objectP(MUIObject) then -- create custom GPDL dialog
    UserString = MUIObject.GetURl("", 1)
    return [#myString:UserString ]
  else
    alert "ERROR initialising behaviour: MUI Xtra missing"
    pass -- let the GPDL handler create the dialog
  end if
end

You would probably want to make a much more sophisticated "general purpose
dialog" using the MUI Xtra rather than using the default "GetURL" dialog
(though I reckon creating dialogs with the MUI Xtra can be about as much fun
as a visit to the dentist)
