if at all possible, we should try and keep that an implementation detail. 
after all, when is there a popup and when isn't there?

"something more advanced" usually is code for "unlike anything else so that 
it's nice and surprising to the user". "boring" is actually good when we're 
talking about shared things like the popup dialog.

this should also be done automatically if it isn't already.

this is already done.

so the three things you listed should all be part of the default behaviour and 
at least one is already implemented. :)
