Might be a bit hard to avoid dismissing on clicks in the menu bar though ... but I might be mixing that up with Carbon. Does sendEvent: get menu bar clicks? But yeah, that's what I would use. I thought there was a way to install an event filtering/monitoring callback on NSApplication, but I can't find the call right now. Anyway, it's probably 10.7-only, at best 10.6. Failing that, you could create a transparent, borderless window with a custom content view that handles mouse clicks and closes your fake popover (and itself), I suppose. Might have to call -preventWindowOrdering in there too, in case someone uses Spaces or Exposé to select your blanking window or otherwise screw up window ordering.
