Screenshot with pop-up windows Linux N=Mint #671

Is it possible to take screenshots with Shutter with a visible pop-up window under Linux Mint?

Explanation: I mean, there is a download in progress and I want to take a screenshot of its progress. Then I click on the download symbol at the top right of Firefox and a pop-up window will appear with the details of this download. I would like to see this pop-up window in the screenshot. Can this be done with Shutter and if so, how should I do it?

I guess, you'd need to set a delay. This is possibly from the status bar (bottom right corner of Shutter's main window). Set the delay to something like 5 seconds, take the screenshot, then do whatever it takes to show the pop-up within 5 seconds. The screenshot will then show what is visible at the end of the delay time interval.
