To prevent a popup from closing when you click outside in Angular, you can modify the backdrop behavior of the popup. If you're using Angular Material, for instance, set the `backdropClick` property to false when opening the dialog: `this.dialog.open(YourDialogComponent, {disableClose: true});`. This prevents the popup from closing when the user clicks outside of it, ensuring it remains open for further interaction or until explicitly closed by other means.
