I usually prefer to break up the handler for code flow simplicity, but IIRC you should be able to open the dialog invisibly, then show it and go to it "as modal" and it'll retain the modal layering while allowing the current handler to keep running.
It's been a long time since I've tried that, though, and with all the event changes for Cocoa I wouldn't be surprised if the event management was tightened up a bit since then.
