I think that’s a little bit stupid, is it?

Whether you should use popup VIs or subpanels really depends on how much information you want displayed at the same time. With subpanels the subVI's front panel is displayed inside of the main VI. There is no code duplication. If you use subpanels and you want to pop open the subVI that's embedded within the subpanel then you need to first remove the subVI from the panel and then use the VI Server to open the subVI dynamically.
Attached is a modified version of the "Subpanel Viewer" example that ships with LabVIEW. It should get you started with some ideas.
