In the case of a web application, as opposed to a more general-purpose
website, it would be reasonable to use pop-ups and targetted links but
to offer the option to turn them off.  Our webmail does this and the one
staff member with severe sight problems has no complaints: he likes the
flexibility, especially since he has the option for the pop-ups to
remember where they were on the screen when they were last closed and
re-appear in the same place.
