Issue description

For my own project I developed a package that allows the user to download or view files by URL link. This could be a useful addition to the basic packages.

From your description this looks similar to some ideas i've had for a longer time.

Essentially, i would like to provide arbitrary "popup" or "overlay" functionality for applications. OpenLayers already has this feature (OpenLayers overlay = some HTML content at some coordinates), but it is not integrated with React and Chakra, so it only allows for "raw" html content unless app developers do the necessary react integration by hand.

So my "plan" (not currently being worked on) would be:

• Create an API on the map model to open an overlay, e.g. mapModel.createOverlay(<Content />, { coordinates, ...options }).
• Refactor existing OL Overlays (e.g. tooltips for measurement etc.) to use this API
• (Maybe) create a popup package (popups are Overlays with some window decorations, maybe some default contents).

Packages such as yours could then be implemented on top of the overlay API or the popups API.
