Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

In Sway if I press my keyboard shortcut for copyq menu it will appear behind a "fullscreen" window.

Describe the solution you'd like
there is a protocol for dealing with these situations, apps can express the need to be on the overlay layer using the layer shell protocol and thus be visible in all situations.

Similar apps like the wayland fork of rofi have options to use the overlay layer.

Describe alternatives you've considered
None I could think of.

I won't be implementing support for more protocols myself - honestly, it is somewhat messy.

Not sure if this is supported by Qt framework - maybe changing the window type would help. There is similar problem on macOS (#2902).
