If I understand correctly, you want to get the content for just one 
portlet:

$jslink.getPortletById("P_56789_1234")
$jslink.getPortletByName("portlet_2")

I have a slightly different need: I want to /pop-up/ a portlet into a
simple window; the portlet configures the parameters to a java jabber
applet displayed in a bare window, so my naive approach was to use
Javascript in the navigation templates to launch it and wrap it in the
control.Print action to strip out the navigation panes, and I thought
commands like the above two would work, but ...

    <script language="JavaScript">
    <!-- Launch floating Jabber window
    var miniwin = "$jslink.getAction("controls.Print","JabberPortlet-1")";
    var remote = null;
    function jabber() {
      var ua = navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase();
      if (ua.indexOf("x11") > -1) wd = 'width=200,height=320';
      else if (ua.indexOf("mac") > -1) wd = 'width=200,height=320';
      else wd = 'width=200,height=320';
      remote = window.open(miniwin, 'miniwin', wd+',resizable=yes');
    }//  -->

    document.writeln("<a class='menu' title='launch jabber window' href='javascript:jabber()'>Launch IM</a>");
    </script>

This renders my link as

    var miniwin = "http://maya:8080/sentry/portal/media-type/html/user/staff/page/default.psml/js_peid/JabberPortlet?action=controls.Print";


which is _really_ close /except/ ... the JabberPortlet-1 portlet is
defined under the _role_ template, and is not defined on that specific
user page.  What I want to generate is .../html/ROLE/member/...

If I use getPortalById(), my pop-up page contains a blank
version of the user's page, no JabblerPortlet-1

and that's my theory why Jetspeed simply responds with the "not
implemented - PortletElement" (pseid not found??) error

How /should/ I craft the link and portal definition to create a
floating-box portlet?  Does anyone have an example they can share of a
working pop-up portlet?
