aria-haspopup (property)Indicates that the element
<http://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria/terms#def_element>; has a popup context menu
or sub-level menu.

This means that activation renders conditional content. Note that ordinary
tooltips are not considered popups in this context.

A popup is generally presented visually as a group of items that appears to
be on top of the main page content.
