I
've usually heard this call pop-out (as in pop this video out of the
current tab/window) and i think it would be a good thing to have especially
if we have high res video that is being displayed smaller in the context of
an article, a larger lightbox is fine in many cases but does not support
the use case where a user would put the video in a separate window while
they continued to read the article that the video came from. Supporting
both would be good, but if we're talking about a lot of work I can see it
being a roadmap feature.

retaining many of the short-attention-span or multi-tasking viewers.
Particularly when a video is low-res or in small-dimensions by default,
or when it's embedded in a long page of other distracting/tantalizing
information.
I regularly watch youtube videos in a Pop-up window. Youtube itself has
occasionally offered a right-click "pop-out into a new window" option as
part of the default options (not currently? it seems to appear and
disappear over the years). Otherwise, I right-click the tab and "move to
new window", and then I minimize the window size, and drag the window
into the bottom right of my screen. Finally, I set the window to "Always
on top". That way I can watch long documentaries/interviews whilst I
work on other tasks.

I wanted to continue to read while playing the video. So what I
wanted to do was "pop up" the video out of the page, so I could
scroll and read on the left part of my screen, while watching the
video at the right of my screen.
I think you mean, how would they access the information page, and
licensing info, if clicking the media itself made it bigger or pop-out?
From the article: they could still click the thumbnail icon (to the
right of any caption)

From the video itself: Check the bottom-right of one of the videos, when
it's playing. Click the "menu" button, to get a link to commons:

But how people can discover Wikimedia Commons (or
another wiki) if
the media is blocked on the pop-up ?
