Is it possible to show an NSPopover using a custom nib and the dialog command? Or does the NSPopover require some code to show it?

- (void)showRelativeToRect:(NSRect)positioningRect
                    ofView:(NSView *)positioningView
             preferredEdge:(NSRectEdge)preferredEdge

Don’t think you can work that into a nib file.

My use case is a command I’m working on for displaying generated documentation, i.e. JavaDoc, for a given symbol. So far I’ve been using a tooltip, It’s working fine but the problem with the tooltip is that it doesn’t support scrolling, when the content gets too long. Ideally I would like something that also is interactable, like clicking on links. I would like to avoid the HTML window/view because I think it’s bit too heavy.

Scrollable interactive content, presumably with styles? Sounds to me like the HTML view is the proper outlet.

Too heavy I assume is the status bar? Could maybe look into making it possible to hide it from the exposed JavaScript object, or maybe it should be a property of the bundle item (so it doesn’t “flash”).
