Chrome has recently removed the user interaction requirement for action.openPopup to make it more attractive as a primitive. I recognize that there may still be some use cases for which rendering on top of the web content would be nice

This might be interesting.

Issues:

having to override the src of the popup before opening it, and then restoring it, risking conflicts. The path to the document would be the same as defined in Add offline Firefox support #6
Apparently no Firefox support yet Ensure consistency of action.openPopup API across browsers w3c/webextensions#160 (comment)

Advantages:

it shows clear connection to the originating extension
it would work on fullscreen windows on macOS
