Captive portal auth doubt

Some people complain of the captive portal redirecting them when they are in the middle of filling out a form, or doing work on a online portal, is it possible for the captive portal to appear in a different tab like a pop-up instead of a redirect?

@BigPalo,

This isn't possible when you utilize captive portal. You effectively have redirect mode or transparent, but neither of them would trigger any sort of pop-up like what you're looking for.

I'm always suspect of why people are using captive portal for access since it's generally not a good experience and only really useful (or rather, the best option) in very limited environments. What are you getting with the Captive Portal in this instance?
