Sounds hacky. Also, it is interesting to know if the garbage collector is smart enough to see that an object is holding on to itself through some map? I would anyway suggest to add an API.

I am not aware of such an api. I used to check the shell title or something similar to determine if a specific dialog is currently open.

It might be interesting to attach the dialog as a "data" of the underlying shell by default. Something like, in the base Dialog class, at initialization getShell().setData(Dialog.KEY_DIALOG, this), so we could then ask for the dialog of each shell and see if it's a dialog of an expected class.
WDYT?
