Description
Description
First, thank you for building this! it's awesome and I was able to build a cool app with it.
I want to implement this feature where a user can click a button and detach the window from the tray so that it becomes it's own separate window. The user should also be able to re-attach the window so it's back to appearing when clicking on the system tray icon. Is this possible?
I know I can create a new BrowserWindow and probably hack this together, but I'd like to use my existing window instead.
Thanks!

Research direction
The issue does not name any files, tests, or entry points. Start by investigating the project's Electron window and menubar behavior, then determine whether an existing window can be detached and re-attached; done would require a defined implementation approach and corresponding project guidance or tests.
