Interesting idea, this works:

Key F25 A N Popupat Window-Ops

AddToFunc Popupat "I" CursorMove -1000 -1000
+ "I" Popup Window-Ops

The cursor move values are expressed in percent of pages. by Using
-1000, -1000 I am trying to get to the upper left side of the screen.
A quick test showed me, that it doesn't seem to cross pages they way I
would have thought it would. If you didn't want to go to 0,0, you
could move to -1000, -1000, and then move from there.

I imagine something like this could stop working in a future release.
