So far I have this (bottom).
You need an LFUN_SHOW_DIALOG_NEXT that finds the desired inset and then
opens the dialog. You could either call Dialogs::show direct as:
owner->getDialogs().show(name, data, inset);
where 'data' is a string of the stuff you wish to edit which can be
'translated' by the frontend or you could do as I have done for the
InsetCommand insets and define a 'Mailer' that does the dirty work for you.
In that case your LFUN becomes:
case LFUN_SHOW_DIALOG_NEXT: {
string const name = cmd.argument;
Inset * inset = nextInset(name);
MailInset * mailer = 0;
if (inset) {
if (isCommandInset(inset)) {
// exits already
mailer = new InsetCommandMailer(name, *inset);
} else if (isTabularInset(inset)) {
// hypothetical
mailer = new InsetTabularMailer(*inset);
}
}
if (mailer) {
mailer.showDialog();
delete mailer;
}
}
break;
So, you need to define 'nextInset' and 'isCommandInset' or its equivalent
and you're away. The frontend code is complete in this regard.

owner->getDialogs().hide(cmd.argument);
