xdg-foreign will just get that window on top. You don't have any
control of where on top it is, merely a child-parent relationship
It will occlude or be nowhere near the cursor. xdg-foreign alone won't
be a complete solution.
This sounds quite a lot like an xdg_popup; that has all the “this
surface is associated with this rectangle of this other surface”
infrastructure. Extending xdg-foreign to allow import of xdg_popups in
addition to xdg_toplevels looks like it would fully support this
use-case?
