that'd be cool to have those windows hidden in the Dock. there's some talks about getting Wooshy to do this but it's more painful than necessary (https://github.com/godbout/Wooshy.docs/issues/37). would be great to investigate, at least to see 1) how it's feasible 2) whether it slows down the Workflow enough that it's no fun to use anymore.

need to explore grabbing all windows through the AX, of all running apps.

decided that no. ultimately the goal of Wooshy: Window to the Foreground is to bring the visible windows so that we can target them with Wooshy. i've built the Workflow because many times macOS would blast a popup and i would have to use the mouse just to focus on it. this Workflow allows me to bring those windows in the foreground without using the mouse. but i think for something that grabs also the hidden or miniaturized window, another (better) solution would be needed. no an Alfred Workflow.
