Hey all,

Could you please tell whether it’s possible to make the following possible?

1. Open page
2. Click on an item, so an overlay (pop-up) is displayed on top of the main artboard (let’s say it will cover 25% of the screen)
3. Click on element on the overlay, so it will update the underlying artboard (change it to another one) while the overlay will still stay on/visible?
4. Click on an element that closes the overlay (like “x” icon on overlay) to get rid of it, preserving the second board is visible
