PopupView Custom Location

General
1

Hi,

im using a bunch of popups with different locations.
Im trying to set the popup to a specific location (not the usual host component)

currently im using the CSS Injector plugin which injects the following:

.v-popupview-popup {
    top: 123px !important;
    left: 456px !important;
}

So each of my Popups injects its location when it has to be visible. There is only one Popup visible at a time so the approach works. But evidently the solution is quite ugly.

Doing some research ive stumbled upon the following ticket:

Which left me with the following:

public class CustomPositionVPopupView extends VPopupView {
	
	@Override
	protected void showPopup(final CustomPopup popup) {
				
		popup.setPopupPosition(123, 456);

		popup.setVisible(true);
	}
}

The approach works but im not sure how i would pass the values for the position to the popup.
My goal is to use the new widget for every PopupView.

A small example would benefit a lot.

As an addition:
Im not fond of using plain Windows or the Overlay addon because i very much would like to have the whole behaviour of the PopupView (animation and the setHideOnMouseOut method)

Thanks
