Indeed, thanks.

Clearly I'm for kicking out org-no-popups completely. Many details have
been mentioned already. The big argument for that change for me is that
the code gets simpler.
But that's just me. All the other fixes may have advantages too. In
the first place I want back a usable org-goto interface.
I'd like to leave it to you to commit a fix.
Best regards,
