It wasn't my intention to confuse you :)

So a qooxdoo window (qx.ui.window.Window) is no alternative here, right?

Yes, for every new window (=document) you need to create an own qooxdoo app.

Since the "main" app is opening the popup you can communicate through
"window.opener" from the popup.

--snip-
// inside the popup
var mainApp = window.opener.qx.core.Init.getApplication();
mainApp.sendMessage("doSomething");

If you want to avoid two separate applications you need to find a way that the
google map is loaded within the same document.

It's better if you use the communication layer to just talk between the two
apps and separate any UI code from it. There shouldn't be any direct
connection between the widgets in the main app and the popup app.
