  • Simple yet flexible popup modal view plugin that works with Gutenberg editor

    This is a simple yet flexible modal view plugin, exactly what I need. You can assign hot link to any Gutenberg block element and trigger a popup with any other block content. Works right in the Gutenberg editor. All other popup and modal view plugins are bloated with crap I don't need.
