I must be missing something here.
Which Apple applications have non-modal Open dialogs?
All the ones that I tried (TextEdit, Preview.app, Safari, Xcode 3.2.6) have modal Open dialogs - you can't do anything in other documents while the Open dialog is displayed.
I'm running Snow Leopard, so maybe things are different in Mountain Lion - but Snow Leopard is a long way from System 7.
