Ian Hickson: I don't think we have anything that goes outside the viewport still, except for <select> in some browsers. There has been progress on dialogs and tooltips more recently, but not outside the viewport. Just better declarative support.

Ian Hickson: fwiw, it sounds like you are describing exactly what i linked above -- Picture in Picture (PiP) does currently escape the viewport and is planned to support arbitrary html in future https://w3c.github.io/picture-in-picture/#security-considerations

it'd need a bunch of extra APIs like to integrate with the windowing system for toolbars and such
