From a Jaws users prospective, I think its OK to have a pop up window by
clicking on a link, as long as it is to give a brief description of
something which is related to that link. I personally wouldn't prefer to
have the pop up window take me deeper and deeper through other links within
the pop up window. This would just confuse me and make me lose my placement
on the website.
