Some content pages would be convenient to show as a popup rather than taking over the application window. For example, the Resources menu for release notes, license, etc. might be better as a popup, similar to information dialogs. That way the user does not have to go back and reorient the map they were just on, and they would be less tempted to press "back" on the browser. Some issues to consider:
Behaving similar to info popup would be good.
If the info popup is enhanced to provide built-in table of contents, that might be something to turn on.
Is a configuration property needed to indicate whether to do appWindow, popup, newTab, newWindow, etc., consistent with link behavior? What would be the default?
Need to make sure that image locations are handled.
This is a lower priority.
