Description

I've got a widget that is too complex to be part of the form so a popup (yuck) seems the best way write things. However, it's not easy getting a popup's resource installed as a child.

Currently, the page that owns the form needs to handle the child_ request (as well as worrying about crazy form port URLs). But, why should the page need to understand the widget's implementation!?

There's also the problem that the JavaScript? that opens the popup needs to handle the URL construction nicely to work with addSlash'd resources. Also, some infrastructure type code would probably make passing the IDs of the widgets around, which would be nice.

Not sure how to solve this right now, but at least it's logged.
