What you need to do is using TagManager API - as talked about here:

You can use custom tag libs too:

Servlet

Hi, you need to feed a ValueMap thanks to a data source in a servlet that extends SlingAllMethodsServlet then use this datasource as parameter in your _cq_dialog/.content.xml. Don't forget to replace
