[csswg-drafts] [css-view-transitions-1] keep ::view-transition-old(root) screenshot (#8830)

tinchox5 has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts:

== [css-view-transitions-1] keep ::view-transition-old(root) screenshot  ==
I'm currently developing a Zoomable User Interface ([ZUI](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zooming_user_interface)), and one of its key points is stacking views to maintain context. You can find a basic example [here](https://codepen.io/zircle/pen/ejXaNY).

I have always wondered about taking snapshots of previous view states, and I am confident that the View Transitions API will be perfect for performing zoomable navigation. However, I am unsure if this API offers an option to retain old screenshots or the capacity to reuse them as a background for the new view state.

Therefore, I would like to request information or guidance on how to retain old screenshots in the View Transitions API or if there is an option to reuse them as a background for the new view state. This would be essential to keep the screenshot of the old view "alive" to serve as context and to smooth the zoomable transition since previous elements are "flattened."

Thank you for your time and assistance.
