Ideally, you won't want "#" links. Users with no JS (and bots/search
engines) can't follow those links.
The best way to do it is a catch all.
<a href="page.php?id=123" onclick="openpop(this.href); return
false">Click</a>
If js is enabled, it will open the pop, then return flase to stop the
click event of the <a> from taking place.
