Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-anchor-1] Ability to escape containment of other positioned elements (#8588)

Yeah, the "recreate popover-ish behavior using plain CSS" discussion has been had - currently the opinion of impls is that exposing top layer directly (not controlled by the UA in a dismissable fashion) isn't something they want to do.

But the actual box-tree reparenting part of it is indeed super useful, so even if we can't reparent into a top layer, reparenting into the root (thus escaping all ancestor traps like `transform`) would indeed be very useful. I believe it's a separate concern tho, but indeed becomes more relevant with Anchor Positioning since a dependable fixpos becomes so much more useful.
