Show views count for pop up post

I am using jet pop up plugin to open a custom post type in a pop up. The idea is to track which post is more interesting for users so we need to show post view counts or track click events and show them to wordpress admin on the custom post type listing.

I tried using different plugin to show post count but since post is opening in modal, no specific URL, no page load... plugins are not counting views when post is opened in modal.

How can i achieve this directly through wordpress without using Google tag manager or analytics ?
