Sure.  I don't know if Frame's native HTML export supports them,
but Mif2Go certainly does, in HTML-based Help systems.  See the
User's Guide, par. 6.8.3, "Displaying a topic in a pop-up window",
for a brief summary.  You can view the User's Guide in OmniHelp
format at:
  http://www.omsys.com/dcl/ohusergd/

Par. 6.8.1, "Understanding pop-up hotspots, links, and topics",
shows a popup link.  Naturally, you have to allow the popups in
your browser for them to work.

If you want a popup in non-Help HTML, you need to use JavaScript.
Mif2Go also supports inclusion of arbitrary JS wherever you want.

HTH!
