You're mixing apples and oranges. Popup windows aren't needed; you can
created _one_ html document and populate it dynamically using javascript
or server-side methods with whatever content and text you wish - over
and over again. I use a "catch page" via php for all the images on my
site - one page for probably thousands of pics (_and_ text in some
cases.)

-Which doesn't relate to "wasted space" on a "full screen" window.
