The WMS only generates static images, png/gif files, there is no
possibility to embed popups in them.
If you need popus the way to go is, I believe, to load the data via WFS
into OpenLayers and setup
the popup there.
If the data is too much you'll probably have to use some zoom based
strategy, where you download
the data in OL only if you are zoomed in enough to get relatively few
points in the current view (that is, less
than 1000 or something like that).
There is also a GeoServer extension to create HTML image maps, which can
then be used to drive popups,
however I don't know if it works with points as well
Cheers
