Frontend JavaScript is far fromm my main area of expertise, but I
believe there's a way to detect whether window.open succeeded... maybe
the return value of window.open, or even just trying to reference the
window by name and seeing if exists?
That way the fallback onto the non-popup flow could be completely
transparent as long as the consumer site's UI can deal with losing its
context.
