You can do something along these lines:

DEFINE POPUP shortcut SHORTCUT RELATIVE FROM MROW(),MCOL()

This will open the form relative from where the mouse is. If you want to do it relative from the button, it gets a bit more difficult. First of all, you will have to switch to "foxels" (ScaleMode property on the form). Then you have to traverse from the button back to the form it lives in, to figure out where the top end left corners of the button are (relative from the top, left corner of the form, NOT relative to the next container!).
