There's a clunky sort of workaround.
frontwindowrecord : returns the record for the front window
frontwindowrecord
Result : window -- the front window's information
and
Class window : a window
Properties:
bounds bounding rectangle [r/o] -- the bounds of the window
name string [r/o] -- the name of the window
position point [r/o] -- the position of the top left corner
So you can get the name of the front window.
If it's not the one you're looking for, you can then use one of those other
events beginning with 'show' to open or bring the one you want to the front,
then you can close it, and your real front window is still in front,
undisturbed.
