I'll take a look at it.

Interesting note. Thank you for suggestion.

I don't think that adding more dialogs is good idea. I like solution from 
TheSky more. They added a combo box on the top of detail dialog which allowed 
to pick object you want. Such approach extends naturally to list view. It 
should be possible to view one object in details or all objects at once with 
limited amount of info and switch between them easily.
