For more context / posterity - potential solution was shared with myself and @fmarier. Basically would involve at a minimum touching the following:

• Starts here https://source.chromium.org/chromium/chromium/src/+/main:chrome/browser/ui/views/frame[…]8ae287d5adc828b9546eec95f668a?q=browser_view.cc&ss=chromium
• WebContents https://source.chromium.org/chromium/chromium/src/+/main:content/public/browser/web_co[…]98ae287d5adc828b9546eec95f668a?q=web_contents.h&ss=chromium
• WebContentsImpl https://source.chromium.org/chromium/chromium/src/+/main:content/browser/web_contents/web_contents_impl.cc;l=4968?q=web_contents_impl.cc
• And deeper in third_party/blink https://source.chromium.org/chromium/chromium/src/+/main:third_party/blink/public/mojo[…]38;drc=da35f4ed6398ae287d5adc828b9546eec95f668a;bpv=1;bpt=1

Touching these means we'd end up with patches and other difficult to review items. Thanks for investigating, @spylogsster! 😄
