(A couple of caveats on the popup block. Firstly, although this package does a good job at running other blocks inside of the popup, some blocks with complex javascript may have some issues. You can turn on the IFrame option to treat the popup as a standalone page though, which often helps. The required block type javascript and css libraries are automatically loaded only when loading an area from another page, but if you choose to use the full-page view option, then you're going to want to make a custom "popup" page type for your site, and make sure you include the area's block's css and js files)
