Yet I doubt that such popups would be desirable on terminal frames. For my taste, they would appear far too obtrusive and distracting. I think any such popup should be treated like a tooltip and get displayed in the echo area.
We already have a company-mode frontend that uses the echo area to show completions (two of them, actually, slightly different from each other).
Problem is, it's hard to fit the same information you would in a popup, and the echo area is used for other things (often at the same time): e.g. ElDoc, as well as some extra info that company-mode shows for the currently selected completion. So the user would have to give up that.
