JDeveloper 10.1.3 does not have a popup but a dialog framework that opens a dialog in a separate browse window. As Chris pointed out, the developer guide contains a section about how to launch the dialog. To programmatically launch the dialog from a command link use its action listener property
    public void commandButton_action2(ActionEvent event) {
// make the clicked row the current
  //Get access to the value binding
   ValueBinding vb = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getApplication().createValueBinding("#{bindings.DepartmentsView1Iterator}");
   DCIteratorBinding dciter = (DCIteratorBinding) vb.getValue(FacesContext.getCurrentInstance());
  //the command link is a child of af:column, which is a child of af:table
  CoreTable ct = (CoreTable)actionEvent.getComponent().getParent().getParent();
  //access the row data, to obtain the Row object and the formatted key string
  JUCtrlValueBindingRef juctrlref = (JUCtrlValueBindingRef) ct.getRowData();
  String rowKey = juctrlref.getRow().getKey().toStringFormat(true);
//set the current row in the binding
  dciter.setCurrentRowWithKey(rowKey);
// open dialog
        FacesContext fctx = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
        AdfFacesContext adfFacesCtx = AdfFacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
        UIViewRoot viewRoot = new UIViewRoot();
        viewRoot.setViewId("/yourDialogPage.jspx");
        HashMap properties = new HashMap();
        properties.put("width",300);
        properties.put("height",200);       
        adfFacesCtx.launchDialog(viewRoot,properties,(CoreCommandLink)event.getSource(),true,null);
  }If the dialog is based on the same VO then the current row is selected. If not then you may want to pass the value ofthe rowKey in a HashMap as the last argument to open dialog
