Issue summary: View changes

We identified that we want to use Drop.js (http://github.hubspot.com/drop/docs/welcome/) that is based on Tether (http://tether.io)

We will want to use tether to deal with a sticky perspectives button and Drop.js is the perfect building block to achieve the popover display as proposed.

Just an update that Bootstrap beta1 release will remove tether in favore of popper.js https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap/pull/22444.

If you have a large set of paragraph types, you will prefer a dialog instead of a popover. Our dialog is extended with filtering tabs and additionally will be with more visual type selectors.

The need for an add click to display the add dialog is more considered a feature than a hover would be.

That said, supporting popover as an option in the widget would be cool. But this is now a minor prio thing for us. Supporters / funders still welcome.
