Crossrider: Trigger action to open popup

Question

I need some insight about the browser action that triggers the popup.

Can I open a popup from one of the following scenarios?

1. Trigger an action to open popup from a page on a website?
2. Trigger an action to open popup from within extension scope?

Is there way to do this, or the popup controlling is only possible from background scope?

Answer 1

The popup can only be opened by clicking on the browser action button and cannot be triggered/opened via code in any scope. Even in the background scope, you can set the configure the browser action, but you cannot open it.
