There is a global property "the dialogData" which can be used for this purpose 
(both for sending data to the modal, and getting it back) and this is the 
standard advice.

However in fact this is just a convention, there's nothing special about that 
property except that it's not used for anything else and it has a relevant 
name!  So alternatively you can use a global variable, or a property of the 
stack "BlahBlah", or whatever else makes sense for you.

HTH,
