Can Clearance Delivery (through an RCO on the ground) give a pop-up
IFR instead of Approach? So far I have found that they ask me to call
Approach when airborne, or file with FSS. Is there an operational
consideration that prevents CD from giving a pop-up?


Sure, clearance delivery can give a pop-up IFR clearance. All he has to do
is coordinate with the approach control position having responsibility for
that airspace. But why would you call clearance delivery instead of
approach?
