[news.eclipse.platform] ErrorSupportProvider and UI for ErrorDialog

I was looking forward to using ErrorSupportProvider to place extra stuff in our product's error dialogs, but to my dismay the ErrorDialog implementation when using ErrorSupportProviders is to display a third /column/ ?

I am almost thinking there's a bug -- it should have been giving the error support provider a /row/ not an extra column, or the dialog stops looking standard.

Was there an intended "best practice" for the use of the error support provider?

Consider a simple example: wanting to provide a hyperlink to "contact support". There's no good way to have it show in a third column unless some funky trick is done to extend the dialog beyond its simple nature.

Thank you,
  Eddie
