Description

SwiftUI has a concept of secondary views, which are attached to a parent view but do not play a part in layout. Handy for e.g. putting a badge on an icon without changing the layout of the icon.

This can almost be replicated in Blueprint with Overlays, but really needs custom layout in order to let the secondary element take any size or position without affecting the parent element. Blueprint should provide a dedicated element for this pattern.

Research direction

Start by reviewing Blueprint's existing Overlay approach and the linked SwiftUI secondary-views concept. Define how a dedicated element would allow arbitrary secondary-element size and position without affecting the parent layout; done means that pattern is supported as a reusable Blueprint element.
