I want to build screen capture window picker, where I create invisible overlay and you 'click' on a window you want to record, similar to default screenshot taking on mac, when selecting the window.

It is very likely a few windows occupy the same bounds or overlap each other. In such a case, to know which window you clicked, I need z-index attribute of the window. Is it possible to get it somehow? Or can I treat order of returned windows as their z-index?

Windows are returned in order from front to back.
