Is there an option to keep the window open, when clicking somewhere else in the desktop, but not on top of others (like it happens with alwaysOnTop: true) ?

Thanks!

Research direction

Start by reviewing the menubar window lifecycle and Electron's focus, blur, and always-on-top behavior. Determine how an option could keep the window open without forcing it above other windows; done means the behavior is configurable and works when the user clicks elsewhere on the desktop.
