Is it possible to activate the Ultra Recall Reminder dialogbox at will other than when a reminder is due?

No -- the Reminder dialog (and/or tray notification) will be automatically (re)displayed within one minute whenever there are overdue reminders (don't uncheck both options under Tools | Options | Search/Reminders). If there were a menu item to display it, the dialog would be empty anyway (unless opened during the < 1 minute window before it is automatically displayed). Snoozed items won't show up in the Reminder dialog until they come due again, and the dialog will be displayed automatically.

armsys,
I had the same question some time ago. You can create a search for "pending reminder" that will give you items that are about to be shown in the Reminder dialogue.
However, there is no easy way to "dismiss" the item cause one cannot delete the pending reminder and it also depends whether the item is recurring or not.
Because of this it would be nice if there was an option to activate the reminder dialogue in which case it would show the items that are about to be shown there, and the user would have an option to "dismiss" them, snooze at more appropriate time etc.
In this way, I could work on some items that are scheduled in the future but I find some spare time and prefer to work on them now. The manual "dismissing" and "rescheduling" is too complicated and error-prone :(

Activating the Ultra REcall Reminder dialog is immensely valuable when it comes to manage all reminders from all active URDs at the moment of your choosing.
Quant, your suggested solution is doable but tedious. The Search could only locate items within a single URD. In the absence of the Ultra Recall Reminder dialogbox, the reminders must be searched one URD at a time.
