This suggestion doesn’t work because the widget is a Browser widget and I believe the browser is not a true object but a window overlay.
Not exactly - the browser widget is a true engine object, but it uses a 'native' layer to display itself. At present native layers do stack above the card layer (which also renders into a native layer, just with drawing code the engine has complete control over) but we would like to make them interleave as you would generally expect at some point (there's just a fair bit of engineering to do to get that to work!). (Note that there is a well defined ordering for layers used by native layer using objects - the layering follows the same layering as the objects on the card, its just that all non-native objects will stack first, then all native objects).
Whether or not you can actually get the pixels directly out of a native layer depends entirely on what 'kind' the native layer is and whether the platform lets you do that kind of thing.
See my other post for more details.
