Research direction

Start by locating the file-popup implementation and the code that defines NvimTreeRemoveFilePopup and current_popup. Read the related issue #3147, then determine whether the intended behavior is multiple parameterized popups or one popup that closes and clears others; done means the chosen behavior works consistently across multiple windows.
