GtkPopover and applet

How to write code in on_applet_clicked function that show GtkPopover with example content? gtk_popover_new () and what next with this?

const Applet = imports.ui.applet;
const Util = imports.misc.util;

function MyApplet(orientation, panel_height, instance_id) {
    this._init(orientation, panel_height, instance_id);
}

MyApplet.prototype = {
    __proto__: Applet.IconApplet.prototype,

    _init: function(orientation, panel_height, instance_id) {
        Applet.IconApplet.prototype._init.call(this, orientation, panel_height, instance_id);

        this.set_applet_icon_name("folder-system");
        this.set_applet_tooltip(_("Click here to kill a window"));
    },

    on_applet_clicked: function() {
        // here
    }
};

function main(metadata, orientation, panel_height, instance_id) {
    return new MyApplet(orientation, panel_height, instance_id);
}

You cannot use GTK+ within the Cinnamon window manager UI elements.

GTK+ is a client-side, application toolkit; it cannot be used inside a window manager.

If you want to use a menu for an applet, you'll have to use a PopupMenu instance by importing it as:

const PopupMenu = imports.ui.popupMenu;

and populate it with PopupMenuItem instances and their subclasses.
