I agree this would be a very useful feature, and is critical for
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?

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 ?
