What you could do, in effect, is write your own web browser, using an
existing rendering engine. I do not know which rendering engines are how
easily used in Tkinter code (possibly none of them).

This isn't a job for (traditional, cross-platform) Python. It *may* be
possible with pyWin32. It may be easier with the Windows Script Host
(which apparently can support Python). I personally would use
browser-side JavaScript; it's certainly possible to open a popup of a
specific size in JS, not sure about specific position on-screen. Maybe
you have to write an extension for Firefox or Chrome.
