It can be done by adding a new virtual method to the KIPI::Interface which 
would instanciate the dialog and return a pointer to it. However, I think 
doing so would break binary compatibility. This could be integrated if we 
ever go for the changes I suggested in my previous message (On-demand-loading 
of KIPI plugins).
