Yes, either 'pop-to-buffer' or 'dired-mark-pop-up'.  If 'dired-mark-pop-up'
doesn't suit the needs due to its narrow applicability, then a more general
'pop-to-buffer' should be used.  'dired-pop-to-buffer' was an ugly wrapper
around 'pop-to-buffer' with some additions that now should be specified
as ACTION args of 'display-buffer' (an example is in 'dired-mark-pop-up').
I don't understand why Drew still uses 'dired-pop-to-buffer'.
