The lightbox is just a visual enhancement to the good old #call:
method. To start with I would just use #call: that replaces the
receiver with the argument, in other words you have your modal dialog.
#call: can also be nested, whereas this probably doesn't work well
with the lightbox. Use #answer: to close the modal dialog (this is the
same for #call: and #lightbox:).
