Any kind of popup in HTML view??

Hello, I have been searching the forums for this and keep hitting a brick wall.  I have a permalink HTML view of worldwide meetings that will be searchable by the public.  Each meeting record contains a lot of information making it necessary to offer a summary of each one, and allow the public to click on a "More Information" text link for the meetings that pertain to them.  I provide a screenshot of my HTML table:

 
I have modified the default List View's "View" link and it works great, except that it opens in the same window, making it necessary to hit the Back button.

1. <a class="zc-edit-a" href="/myusername/registration/record-summary/Intergroup_More_Information/<%=y.ID%>" elname="zc-showRecordEl">More Information</a>

I would be happy with ANY kind of popup.  I know we can no longer use javascript/jquery to make a nice lightbox, but is there any option at all?  I have seen the OpenURL function but this is used in forms, not views.  All I want is a text link that opens a popup, am I wasting my time even trying?
Thanks
