```

This approach is not feasible if you plan to activate different types of dialogs from the same `Context Menu` or
`Dropdown Menu`. In such cases, it is recommended to colocate the dialogs and control their visibility by making them
controlled components. To achieve this, you can use the following utility hook, as suggested [here](https://github.com/radix-ui/primitives/issues/1836#issuecomment-2051812652):

```ts showLineNumbers
"use client"

import { useRef, useState } from "react"

function useDialog<TriggerRef extends HTMLElement>() {
const [isOpen, setIsOpen] = useState(false)
const triggerRef = useRef<TriggerRef>(null)

function trigger() {
setIsOpen(true)
}

function dismiss() {
setIsOpen(false)
triggerRef.current?.focus()
}

return {
triggerProps: {
ref: triggerRef,
onClick: trigger,
},
dialogProps: {
open: isOpen,
onOpenChange: (open: boolean) => {
if (open) trigger()
else dismiss()
},
},
trigger,
dismiss,
}
}
```

The `useDialog` hook allows you to spread the necessary props to both the trigger, which toggles the `Dialog`, and the
`Dialog` itself, making it a controlled component. Additionally, to ensure accessibility, the hook will attempt to focus
the trigger (such as a button) when the `Dialog` closes.

```tsx {1-2,12,15,20,23}
const editDialog = useDialog<HTMLDivElement>()
const deleteDialog = useDialog<HTMLDivElement>()

<>
<DropdownMenu>
<DropdownMenuTrigger asChild>
<Button variant="ghost" className="h-8 w-8 p-0">
Actions
</Button>
</DropdownMenuTrigger>
<DropdownMenuContent align="end">
<DropdownMenuItem {...editDialog.triggerProps}>
Edit
</DropdownMenuItem>
<DropdownMenuItem {...deleteDialog.triggerProps}>
Delete
</DropdownMenuItem>
</DropdownMenuContent>
</DropdownMenu>
<Dialog {...editDialog.dialogProps}>
{/* ... */}
</Dialog>
<Dialog {...deleteDialog.dialogProps}>
{/* ... */}
</Dialog>
</>
```
