Open file popup (alien.top)

Hi folks,

Does anyone know if there is a plugin for Emacs that offers like a popup where you search recent files.

Right now I use counsel and it works in minibuffer below...but I saw a video where you could have that working like a mid-screen popup and search files.

vertico-posframe makes a pop-up in the middle of the screen for completion specifically. This is probably what you want.

There's also my package [hypop](https://github.com/mitchmarq42/hypop.el) which separates out the whole minibuffer and hides it when not in use. It has a few major drawbacks and only works on the hyprland desktop right now so probably don't use it.
