Adding to standard dialogs

There is no way to add to the present ask and answer dialogs. But there's nothing to prevent you from making your own! See the dialogdata in the documentation for methods to send data back and forth between your custom dialog window and your application. You get and set the dialogdata (a global property) as you please. I don't even think there is any reason why you could not use an array. 

I would recommend having all your dialog windows as cards in a special stack. You can lock the screen, open them modally, set things up the way you want, and then show and hide the stack. Once the user clicks whatever ok or cancel or other button, you set the dialog data according to the contents of the particular dialog, then hide or close the stack.
