Feature request: alternative way to deliver configs for custom more-info popups

[kulmegil]

Currently the only way to replace a more-info popup is to create and add popup-card into each / specific view.

This is a serious limitation. Either each popup-card needs to be added to every view OR we have to navigate into specific view + make a delay for rendering - painful especially from a server call.

This kind of defeats the idea of replacing the more info dialogs in the first place. This should work over the scope of entire dashboard - like it was possible in previous version. Please consider adding alternative place to define the configs instead of just each view.

@kulmegil does refer to the removal of the popup_cards config option? Just checking if I'm on the same page.

[kulmegil]

@Alfiegerner yes. The key could be put inside each view or in the root of dashboard config. The latter is the one I used exclusively.

I also preferred the old way. The cards I created, still take up a bit of space on my dashboard, even when hidden.

I've been using the popup_cards section for a very long time. It was a very easy and clean way to define the popups. I really hope this will be added very soon to the new version.

Yes, this change is the reason I still don't want to update to 2.0. It's completely defeats the purpose of replacing more-info dialogs globally. I now have an !include in my ui YAML file in a separate folder and in that folder a separate YAML for each entity I want to change globally. This makes adding and editing more info popups so much easier/managable.
