Any tricks to achieve something like this in Electron? Thanks!

Gitscout's guys discussed this in a San-Francisco based (and then Paris based) Electron Meetup. You can find the video here, the deck here and the code there.
The bottom line of their talk is that it's possible: they create a dedicated BrowserWindow
for the popover on top of the main one and synchronize the 2. However, it requires a lot of work to have a perfect user experience.
