Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/JakeStanger/ironbar/issues/183

Describe the bug
When using Hyprland window grouping, attempting to click a launcher item to focus it does not bring it into focus.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Add two windows to a group.
Focus on window A
Click window B inside ironbar
Window A remains on top inside group.

Expected behavior
The window should be brought to top.

System information:

Distro: Arch Linux
Compositor: Hyprland (git)
Ironbar version: v0.12.1 (git)

Additional context
Additional work may be required to support this scenario, since window focusing is handled via Wayland directly.

This appears to happen if the window is not in a visible workspace too.

Closing this as it appears to be specific to the hy3 Hyprland plugin, and does not occur in the vanilla compositor.
