Is there a way to prevent a pop up opened via the system.perspective.openPopup function from being closed by an operator pressing the escape key?

You can do this by blocking the escape button completely, meaning it doesn't work within perspective on anything, not just popups.

Project Session Events → Keystroke → Enable all Advanced features → `pass` inside script
