Ken,
I doubt that you can set this at the Qooxdoo level because it's a
security feature outside of the page itself in the browser
functionality. Imagine how it would compromise security if browser
applications could override this setting at will!
However, users CAN set popups to be allowed on a per-site basis in
Internet Explorer in the popup options dialog. For the visitors using
Internet Explorer that might come to your site, they're likely to
already know about this issue, but you should warn them somehow before
taking the application action so that your Qooxdoo app doesn't reload
after the popup failure. Internet Explorer reloads the page to retry
the automatic popup, assuming the application page initiated the popup
on page load rather than from some Ajax action.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news,
Gene
