Yes, I understand the constraint of being limited to one tab in the browser
but I wanted to toss out the other options in case someone else was
implementing something similar but didn't have that constraint.

While a dialog is often considered a modal thing, I don't think we should
be that restrictive. Perhaps I've been a software engineer for too many
decades but I don't limit myself in thinking that a dialog must be modal.
Non-modals can be very helpful in appropriate situations. I think the key
is to make it easy to move between all the non-modals and the main page.
