  It must be possible. We have access to the data either in the DOM or if you need the hidden data, in the data object. DataTables is rich with opportunities to bind some sort of event that would cause a pop-up to appear.

  I recommend using one of the jquery packages that provide popup windows (and handle all the ajax). I strongly favor Fancybox at the moment. http://fancybox.net/
  
  The gist of using fancybox is this:
  
  1) for your critical values, render your cell contents as a link, use a css class name of your preference
  i.e. value
  (you can use datatables callbacks, or use jquery, to find and render contents as critical values. see fnRender, or fnRowCallback or fnDrawCallback on http://www.datatables.net/ref)
  
  2) attach Fancybox to any of your critical values
  i.e. in fnDrawCallback which is called every time a page is drawn, call $(".criticalvalue").fancybox();
  you can pass an initialization object into fancybox() to set the popup height, width, colors, and various other options.. see the API/FAQ on the fancybox page for the various settings
  
  3) PROFIT!!!
