It is generally a requirement that the command runs “detached” which  
commands with HTML output does by default. Regular commands can also  
be detached http://wiki.macromates.com/HowTo/RunCommandInBackground

However, detaching means that TM will not wait for the command to  
complete, and that means any output other than ‘discard’ does not make  
sense.

Dialog 1.x allows you to run a nib as modal, which should then allow  
you to “block” but still have input go to the dialog (but the rest of  
TM will still be locked, as it is waiting for your command to complete).
