Description

Currently only eframe::Frame supports getting native window handle. But when we create new viewports we could not access window handle of this viewport. So we could not embed some contents like CEF web view for instance in viewports.

Research direction

Start by tracing the existing eframe::Frame native window-handle API and how new viewports are created. Determine how each viewport could expose its native handle for embedding content such as a CEF web view. Done means newly created viewports provide accessible native window handles without removing the existing Frame API.
