Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe
Flyout seems to be positioned as a replacement for directly using Popup. However, it lacks the placement customisation that the base Popup control offers.
See Popup Placement Behavior for details.
Describe the solution you'd like
It would be helpful to expose additional properties and events of the wrapped popup such as PlacementTarget / PlacementRectangle / VerticalOffset / HorizontalOffset / CustomPopupPlacementCallback
Describe alternatives you've considered
Creating a custom style for Popup to have the look of a WPFUI Flyout with the base functionalities of a Popup.

Research direction
Start with the WPFUI Flyout and the wrapped Popup, then compare their available placement behavior with the linked WPF Popup Placement Behavior documentation. Done means Flyout exposes the requested placement properties and CustomPopupPlacementCallback-related event behavior without requiring a custom Popup style.
