It's what GNOME is doing and it allows us to use a native widget for the input

I prefer the experience of doing it inline (like on Windows and macOS), but if a popover is cleaner I'm not totally opposed.

It should be much easier to implement this way, with much less code.

I'm really -1 on the popover. IMO it feels janky. I don't think we should have more than one "context menu" for a single item.

I would envisage this more as an overlay just containing an Entry, that appears instead of the editable widget of the text renderer ( and in the same place). It is not really a menu. It could be used for all views rather than having two different editable widgets.

I think an overlaid entry that is positioned below the icon works for me. I'd be curious to see it.
