General: Persistent dialog option

[hoverduck]

Should we have an option for a persistent dialog?
(Persistent meaning they have to perform in action for it to close and not just click/tap outside it.)

How this came up:

We have a dialog appear when a user is going through a Connect flow. A user presses Connect >> they are sent to the external service to authorize >> back to WP to confirm which account they wish to connect via dialog >> Connected. If a user clicks anywhere outside the dialog, it closes and they have to go through the steps again. In this case, its a bit annoying because it is part of the users intended action.

I am not suggesting this be the default because being able to dismiss dialogs, especially ones that are purely informational, is extremely helpful.

Closing this because it already exists. (The required 2FA dialog when you go to /me)
