One of ui methods that web completely abandoned is master-detail (or is it main-detail now). A popup still requires interaction and hides content. If you want really zero friction, then show the main content on one side (left, right or just center) and show details on hover (or click) on the side of it without reflow. On modern sites and displays there’s plenty of room for that at both sides. I wish it was a standard element for all ui jobs, or one of available modes. Explorer - contents aside. Text - search/details. IDE - help and examples. SERP - site preview.
