OpenXR VR Overlay solution in development

I just found this. Any techies here reckon they could show a simple way this could pull in a Chrome window or even a notepad window so we could have some notes in VR.

Also, to give us hope I just read that the developer of VRK Kneeboard is working on an OpenXR version.

From the VRK Discord support server:

So for the MSFS pilots ... I was not aware that Asobo opted for OpenXR API to develop MSFS VR and it caught me unprepared. I was not in the beta program which left me no option to be prepare up-front.
Anyway, I'm looking at this API to implement what's needed to make VRK work with MSFS.

After some more testing, the current situation is:
SteamVR: VRK works with no settings/tuning required
WMR: you have to set SteamVR as OpenXR backend (from SteamVR settings) and then it works. Performance hit may occur, but I didn't noticed any big difference
Oculus: TBD
