yes and no.
an icon in the panel that pops up the plasmoid when clicked upon is the 
PopupApplet class, that pops up everything that is contained in the 
qgraphicswidget returned by graphicsWidget() (or setted by setGraphicsWidget)

extenderitems are widgets with their own titlebar that can be stacked and are 
contained in an Extender and can be dragged around between applet or be put 
standalone.
some PopupApplets just use Extender as graphicsWidget()
