Description

## Prerequisites

- [x] I have searched for similar issues in both open and closed tickets and cannot find a duplicate.
- [x] The issue still exists against the latest stable version of Elementor.

## Description

When a lightbox is opened after clicking on a link inside a pop-up, and then closing the lightbox, both the lightbox and the pop-up will be closed.

The desired UX should be that the pop-up will remain opened after closing the lightbox.

It looks like both components share the same/similar close event, but they should be separate.

## Isolating the problem

- [x] This bug happens with only Elementor plugin active (and Elementor Pro).
- [x] This bug happens with a default WordPress theme active.
- [x] I can reproduce this bug consistently using the steps above.

## Environment

WordPress 5.6.2

Only plug-ins active:
Elementor 3.1.1
Elementor Pro 3.1.0

Active theme:
Hello Elementor 2.3.1

Server:
PHP 7.4.15
Apache/2.4.46
MariaDB 10.5.8

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named in the issue. Start by reproducing the lightbox and pop-up interaction in the stated Elementor and WordPress environment, then trace the close behavior for both components; done means closing the lightbox leaves the pop-up open.
