Originally, I've also had this idea, but really, what exactly is the advantage of using that instead of a popup? What difference does it make?

Also semantically/UI-wise popups are a good point to show extra information for a website as an add-on.

IMHO this is a nice-to-have feature, so I won't close it/reject it, but I treat it as very low-priority. I just don't think there is such a big (or any) advantage over the current solution. Also the implementation is likely quite hard as the add-on is quite coupled to using a popup for such things.
