Google Chrome Extension - Programmatically Open Popup

When you make a Google Chrome Extension you can choose to have a "Default_Popup", is there any way to programmatically open the popup?

There is an API, chrome.browserAction.openPopup(function callback), that will hopefully be available soon. Please star this bug: https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=436489

There is no direct way to open the popup programmatically. However, if you're looking to open it based on a keyboard shortcut, you can use the commands API with the _execute_browser_action command (the API is currently available on the beta channel only).
