Comment:

 We probably will need to keep patching Thickbox for plugins, but these
 popup links should have a better modal in WordPress core.

 I found two core implementations still in use.
 - Plugin "View details" links (see also #50554) for plugins within the WP
 directory, which are on multiple screens: Plugins, Plugin Install,
 Updates, Import
 - Theme "View version x.x details" links, which appear inside the Theme
 details modal when there is an update available

 There is also a 'thickbox' link for
 [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/src/wp-
 admin/includes/post.php?rev=51116#L1539 setting the featured image in
 Classic Editor], but that apparently opens the media modal.
