>> Ah, I've worked out the underlying problem I've been having. I had been trying things along these lines and completely failing to get the popup menu to populate correctly. It was working for a standalone popup but not within the table, and I was assuming I was doing something wrong and/or it was more complex than I realised, and had basically decided not to continue stumbling around trying to make it work. Then I found this:

As it stands right now, it's view based (I switched it in InterfaceBuilder). Things seem to be working fine with that workaround.
I started writing a long email to the list on the question of view- vs cell-based tables, but as is often the case, in the course of writing it I worked out the answer to my particular question at the time. I ended up with view based because Apple give clear instructions for how to bind things for them in "Table View Programming Guide for Mac". Their advice for cell-based tables is rather unhelpful, just saying that it's "very different" and you should "configure the column’s cell’s bindings". Well thanks Apple! Their instructions for view-based tables were clear, so I went with that.
