Probably - but it seems it would be a fair amount of work. Feel free to
look into it if you like.

Because it's dynamically generated, and any changes would either be lost
if the user changed tab, or would have to be reverse engineered back
into the other dialog controls. Also, on some dialogs there are
placeholders included in the code for cases when we have multi-step
queries that are tied together by a generated ID. IF the user mucked
about with those, it could break things particularly spectaularly.
