Portal Frame to desktop applications

It would be great to be able to use open applications on your desktop from within Miro.

Like, you create a Frame (or similar type of object) which is a “portal”, a simple viewing window which allows you to interact with other application windows you have open on your computer.

It would basically be a simple display of whatever front-end the application is showing.  And then you could also interact with the application as usual, when your mouse is within that portal frame, or perhaps when the frame is selected.  For example, if I have photoshop open on my desktop, the portal would look like this in Miro:

Of course, the processing of the application would still occur natively on the desktop, and not within Miro.  The portal would merely be a display of the open window (which updates in real time), with the ability to send mouse and keyboard data from Miro to that program.
