Re: [w3c/editing] Ability to anchor a popover to the native selection rectangle using CSS Anchor Positioning (Issue #518)

michael left a comment (w3c/editing#518)

After giving this some more thought, there's one problem with aligning popovers to the native selection: 

- What happens when when the focus changes (e.g. you click into an input field inside a "Create link" popover)? The native selection is somewhere else then, so where will the popover align now?

The current solution with additional selection spans allows that the internal selection can have an unfocused state (we still render the span, and use it to position the popover), while having the native selection somewhere else (like in an input field inside the popover)

So I guess for my particular use case, being able to anchor a popover against the native selection might not be enough.
