uhm... really? I didn't try it right now, but I'm quite positive I did that 
before...

Well, there's always the possibility to pass the value as a parameter, like 
this:

    Component {
        id: popoverComponent
        Popover {
            id: popover
            property string text
            Label {
                id: label_idm109614992
                text: popover.text
            }
        }
    }

and open it with:

PopupUtils.open(popoverComponent, parent, {text: "foobar"})
