Open dialog in custom Editor/ColumnType

[richardliebmann]

Question
Rather than displaying the input field in the editor, I would like a dialogue to open whenever an edit mode is entered for a column. This might not be the optimal user experience for an edit grid, but it is necessary in this case. Where should I hook in to implement this behaviour? Should I create a custom renderer and override the click/enter events, or implement an editor that opens the dialogue?

Thank you for your help!
