Since there are no "standard" values for rel, I think that microformats have
been using this for licensing, and probably others.  It's the relationship
of the link, and if the link is a type of appendix, then semantically I
don't see anything wrong with your use, though I would add a title tag
stating the link was going to open a pop-up, if that's the case.

rev is also a relationship, but not of the linked item, the other way
around.  If I was on a table of measurments and there was a link back to the
recipe, the link would have a rev defining that the measurments do you're on
is a dictionary for the recipe.  So I don't think your use of rev is
correct, or semantic.  If you were on the T&C and had a link to the home
page, this link could have a rev.

at least that's the way I understand it.
