Think a bit more about it : it's not only a widget problem.
A popup menu applies to some special object (in kfm, some URLS ; in kspread, some cells ;
 ... )
So this would mean that selecting some objects and pressing the button would apply the
action on THOSE objects. Which means in turn that we have to imagine a way to 
know which objects the action should use, when called
(either adding arguments to the SLOT or, like in kfm, storing the information in
a variable). This is really tricky I think, and I'm not sure it's really worth it...
