no, the two things are an atomic transaction, because is completely done by 
another process, the plasma shell process doesn't have any kind of control 
over it for security reasons (that's also the reason it's another separated 
dialog) so all that's doable is asking the activity service "pop up the 
dialog" but not much more, unless the api of the activity server becomes 
something very convoluted like "show the dialog but don't save" "save the 
previously inserted data" "forget the data" but very error prone
