Depends on how you work; I have heard that some users have Javascript
and popup windows enabled in their browser and also read mail with a GUI
tool. Malicious webpages could easily take advantage of that and popup
a PInentry like window.

Right; that is why a standard solution would not work.

No need to. There is the curses pinentry and the gpg-agent options
--keep-tty
--keep-display
Ignore requests to change the current tty or X window system's
DISPLAY variable respectively. This is useful to lock the
pinentry to pop up at the tty or display you started the agent.
Originally added to support running gpg-agent in screen(1). Still you
will have the annoyance/security_feature to switch to the other tty.
