I assume it is, but I sure am stumped as to how to proceed.
Can't be done. Sheets are inherently asynchronous, which means they need callbacks of some kind. Even NSOpenPanel/NSSavePanel can't do what you ask: their make-a-call-and-get-an-answer methods only work for running them modally, not running as a sheet. If you use them as sheets, you'll use the exact same callback mechanism you say you're trying to avoid.
