How do I open a popup menu from a second widget?

final button = new PopupMenuButton(
    itemBuilder: (_) => >[

I found a solution to your question. You can provide a child to PopupMenuButton which can be any Widget including a ListTile (see code below). Only problem is that the PopupMenu opens on the left side of the ListTile.

final popupMenu = new PopupMenuButton(
  child: new ListTile(
    title: new Text('Doge or lion?'),
    trailing: const Icon(Icons.more_vert),
  ),
  itemBuilder: (_) => >[
            new PopupMenuItem(
                child: new Text('Doge'), value: 'Doge'),
            new PopupMenuItem(
                child: new Text('Lion'), value: 'Lion'),
          ],
  onSelected: _doSomething,
)
