Relax modal dialogues

I'm using the element usage dialogue

From this dialogue I can open the diagram.
The suggestion is to relax the modal dialogue so that on the main EA screen I can manipulate the diagram to (without having to close the element usage dialogue)

• close the diagram
• scroll the diagram
• open diagram entity properties
• open diagram properties
• lock and unlock the diagram
