The Dashboard wasn't built for complex UIs. (_While they are possible to some degree..._ 😅)
You can have a look at Julian's (@TotallyInformation) UiBuilder. It just provides the basics and leaves the complete UI up to you.

Another route could be the Dashboard and SVG, developed by @BartButenaers and @Steve-Mcl. They have even built some SCADA interfaces with it.

Basically, yes. The implementation details depend on the technology you decide to use.
You could even do everything within Node-RED by creating custom routes with the HTTP nodes.
