   Hi @svenmeier 
   
   Have you had a chance to check out the way Modals work in the Wicketstuff ModalX project? It uses Wicket core Modal classes 'as is' but makes them much more easy to set up and use for the developer.
   
   There may be some useful ideas in there that could improve the whole Modal experience for Wicket devs if brought into core Wicket.
   
   The way Wicketstuff Modal X facilitates modal dialogs makes it very easy to open any modal dialog from anywhere in the app just by calling the constructor on the class of the modal you want to open and then calling show().
   
   It supports nesting up to N levels. The 'N' can be specified by the dev.
   
   Any page that needs modal simply needs to implement the org.wicketstuff.modalx.ModalMgr interface (typically you do this once in a commonly used base page class so that the whole app becomes Modal capable very easily).
   
   The ModalMgr base class auto adds 'N' placeholder components to any page that it renders and these are then automatically allocated in sequence each time a new modal is nested upon another one. As the modals are closed the placeholders are freed up in reverse sequence until, when the last modal is closed, they are all freed up and the user can then proceed to open another top level modal etc.,
