~~You can't. Tag events are in gateway scope and have no access to your client scopes (Perspective or Vision). Bind the tag to a Session custom property and use an onChange event to open the Popup. Or send a message to your sessions and let a message handler decide whether to open the Popup.~~

Whoops! Should have looked closer. /:

That is what he was doing, but you can't open a popup from the session.props, because it is not linked to a page
