I think it is easier to forget the PopupWindow command.
According to the documentation, one should be able to customize the
poppedup window ad libitum, with notebook options,but there does not
seem to be an obvious way to copy and paste the contents of the
window.
I would do:
Button["Plot Data", CreateDocument[{ListPlot[data]}]]
and customize the button and the window as I wish.
This way you can copy-paste, recreate the window (if you get its
handle), ect.
