Here we are in v12 of FactoryTalk View and from what I can tell, we still don't have a quick and easy way to close a popup after opening a new screen.
I have a system where I can't fit all the navigation links on the main header, so I use sub-menus, but unlike FTView SE, I can't call a new screen and close the popup in the same action, so the answer is to let the "replaced" screen sit on top of the menu. Of course, hitting the main nav button again calls the popup back to the foreground. But this is a dirty way of doing it. I'm aware of the methods of using tags and macros, etc. to do this, but that seems like even more of a hack.
If there's some easy trick to call the new screen and actually close the popup in one swift move, I'd love to know about it.
