So you could use the "UML - Class" object in Dia as your box with just a 
simple string (the class name). Switch off "Attributes visible" and 
"Operations visible", to get rid of the two additional areas.

Your extra window for more information would be just the properties dialog 
having a lot of fields you could now fill with additional, invisible 
information. You can keep it open while navigating your diagram, but 
updating to the selection requires a double click.
