I want a popup to open at the place that I click with the mouse.  
I know there are workarounds but this should be really helpfull.  
So it should be nice when the location of the popup is bindable.  
Also a open at mouseclick location button should be very helpfull.

Some here might disagree, but I consider the explicit Actions (Popup, Dock, Navigate) to be the alternative, where as invoking those actions from a Script is what I recommend as a primary avenue. Invoking your Popup from a Script Action allows you to set each value visible in this screen through arguments, so you just need to supply the location of the mouse click (obtained from the `event` argument of the script).
