I'm not sure but wouldn't the simplest(perhaps) solution be to store a reference to all the dialogs you open up in a mapped array of some kind (dictionary) and whenever you are going to open up a dialog you check if it already exists a key matching whatever id you choose. If it exists then use the window refernce in there to make it go to front, else make a new, shove it in there with an id(key) of some kind and display it.
Perhaps I misunderstood the question though.
