But it's initiated by a right-click, not by holding the space bar. It could be made to also or instead be initiated by a keyboard key. But why? If the location of the popup is at the mouse pointer, why make users involve _both_ the mouse and the keyboard? > Maybe such or similar widget could be good to have in Emacs?

I think it provides what I think you've described. https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/Mouse3 https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/download/mouse3.el
