I have multiple button that open its own popup.  
If I click same button twice. 2 same popup will open.  
Is there a way to check that popup already open.

Other than writing to a custom parameter that popup was triggered?  
(I've already been doing this on the first button, looking if there is another way)

That is for Perspective.. Thanks.  
I already used isPopupOpen parameter.

I just can't imagine creating this multiple times.. thought maybe there is another way.

When you open a popup if you specify a unique Id then only one popup with that Id will open.

You mean, if I run two "openPopup" command with the same ID. The 2nd command will not open another popup?
