Aren't we already doing this thing in battery monitor? Its not collapsed to
just
an icon, and it has a popup. The tiny element (battery status svg) is in
the main
qml item of the plasmoid, and the popup component (power profiles, screen
brightness, etc.) is inside a PlasmaCore.Dialog's mainItem. And this is
without making it a PopupApplet.

This method does sound like a more convenient way of doing it though.
