OK, so to accomplish the remote content, I figured I can just use the
load action first and do the open dialog in the callback of the load.
A request for the dialog plugin - some background overlay. This would
be a color or background image (so as to "dim" the page and bring the
dialog window to greater focus).
There are a number of options in the source of the plugin that are
listed in the documentation: modal, drag, resize...

This seems like a reasonable work-around. Having it built-in would allow the dialog to appear right away with a progress indicator displayed during the load.

The plan is to add a modal option, that if set to true will block everything below the dialog. This will include support for theming this overlay as part of the theme.

Did you mean that are *not* listed in the documentation? It's possible these are internal, meaning not part of the public supported API. This allows for flexibility in changing the implementation while not breaking pages that use the plugin.
