No way, unfortunately

You have to make it as you already have:

Create a header file in your addon's directory (.h or .hpp) and use the include command in the description.ext of every mission that you make and that needs this dialog

Syntax: #include <PBONAME\header.h>

It does also work with subdirectories, f.i. "PBONAME\dlg\header.h"

If it does turn out you can't get it to work without the Description.ext...maybe you can include with the addon some sort of user mission that acts as a "Template"? The template can include and needed .ext as well as briefing that includes link to a user manual for in-game reference.

All a mission maker must do is load up their favorite island, merge the template, and start making their mission from there. All the needed stuff will already be included, and will be fast and easy. But again, this is only thing I can think of as being a "last resort" if in case it can't be part of the addon itself.

Am I sounding like a complete gimp now?
