Non-modal dialogs? (alerts, subwindows, etc.)

[Frozenlock]

It seems that Picocss is treating any dialog element as a modal: adds a blurry background, fixes the position and prevents interaction with other elements.

Is there something that can be done to have normal (non-modal) dialogs?

[dev-willis]

Perhaps the modal styles should apply to elements with role="modal" instead of dialog elements?

[ouvreboite]

That would be nice.
We could also have the role="status" for something like a toast/snackbar

an additional wrinkle is that open is not intended to be toggled in the way that pico recommends: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/dialog#open

The current way of applying open, also prevents using the Popover API.
