Temporarily prevent popup from closing in Leaflet

I have this popup, in Leaflet, of which I can edit the contents, and whenever I am editing it I wish to prevent the popup from closing, i.e., I want to temporarily prevent it from closing.

However, looking at the documentation and source code for L.Popup I couldn't find any methods for doing so directly and therefore tried to force it to reopen whenever it closes, i.e., when a popupclose event is fired on the layer to which it is attached or whenever a remove event is fired on the popup itself.

I did get it to work this way, but had to "hack" it using setTimeout:

let popup = marker.getPopup()

// Option 1:
marker.on('popupclose', (e) => {
    if (/* checks if editing */) {
        // Does not work
        marker.openPopup()

        // Works
        setTimeout(() => marker.openPopup(), 2)
    }
})

// Option 2:
popup.on('remove', (e) => {
    if (/* checks if editing */) {
        // Works first time, but unable to close thereafter
        marker.openPopup()

        // Works
        setTimeout(() => marker.openPopup(), 2)
    }
})

Is there a better way to this without "hacking" it using setTimeout?

I think this is the best I can do, if I don't want to use the other method.

let popup = marker.getPopup()

// Hide close button when editing and show when not
marker.on('popupopen', function (e) {
    if (!popup._closeButton) {
        return
    }

    if (/* checks if editing */) {
        L.DomUtil.addClass(popup._closeButton, 'hidden')
    } else {
        L.DomUtil.removeClass(popup._closeButton, 'hidden')
    }
})

// Assuming toggle of editing only happens when popup is open

// Start preventing popup from closing (called on start edit event)
// User is now editing
if (popup._closeButton) L.DomUtil.addClass(popup._closeButton, 'hidden')
marker.off('click', marker._openPopup) // Don't close popup on layer click
L.Util.setOptions(popup, {
    autoClose: false,
    closeOnEscapeKey: false,
    closeOnClick: false
})
marker.closePopup().openPopup() // Force new settings to take effect

// Stop preventing popup from closing (called on stop edit event)
// User is no longer editing
if (popup._closeButton) L.DomUtil.removeClass(popup._closeButton, 'hidden')
marker.on('click', marker._openPopup) // Do close popup on layer click
L.Util.setOptions(popup, {
    autoClose: true,
    closeOnEscapeKey: true,
    closeOnClick: true,
})
marker.closePopup().openPopup() // Force new settings to take effect
