    Hello,

    I was just wondering how to go about achieving this in UI elements. Basically a fuzzy finder window. I have it basically working, but other fields will "overlap" this window element...making it useless.

    I would like to be able to have this popup window appear on a field specifically...while also having depth priority so other fields don't overlay on top.

    Is creating a new window without a "tab" a hack around this? I feel like there is a simpler solution I am missing.

    Hi,
    does your popup window have to be a VisualElement and not a regular EditorWindow? If so, then you could temporarily append your popup VisualElement to the rootVisualElement of the containing window.

    is there anyway to get the rootVisualElement from working within a PropertDrawer? If not...I might just have to do a temporary GUI window popup...appears to be the most practical approach atm.
