    Description

      I would like to use QWindow::fromWinId() with setTransientParent() to float my windows over another application. However on OSX QWindow::fromWinID() expects an NSView pointer which as far as I know is impossible to get from another application.

      I have a native implementation which uses kCGWindowNumbers to reference the external application window in calls to NSWindow:orderWindow:relativeTo:.
