I wrote an extension that is configurable. I store configuration options 
using

com.sun.star.configuration.ConfigurationProvider

I learned it well enough to use it but I am certainly not an expert on 
it. There is a complete example available if you install my colorizer / 
macro formatter (see 
http://extensions.libreoffice.org/extension-center/code-colorizer-formatter) 


Look in the CfgFmtCode module for some example code. My guess is that 
you would need to create an extension to do this.

Another alternative is to directly modify a module to hold the values. 
This would entail replacing an entire module that would probably consist 
of function calls to return the data of interest. Not that difficult to 
do, but it feels kind of dirty.

You can also just persist the values in a configuration file. Have not 
given that much thought, but it should work.

Sadly, I cannot comment on directly modifying the dialog so that when it 
is next loaded it will contain the values of interest, but I have never 
done that.
