Is it possible to have a screen that is floating over other screens, kinda like a _Full Screen Dialog_? I'm not looking for a modification of a `Dialog` but something more low level, simply a screen that overlays another screen

You don’t need a route to have a dialog.  You can simply take a normal approach of defining some remembered state:

```val (showDialog, onShowDialogChanged) = remember { mutableStateOf(false) }```


```if (showDialog) {
   Dialog(....)
}```

and just turn the flag on and off to show it.  It can live entirely within your existing route.

Thanks but I'm not asking for how to create a dialog. I want a screen that overlays like a dialog does but dont want a dialog. I'm looking for a lower level component

How about adding a new Window just like how Dialog does it?

There are two ways to do this, depending on what you need:

1. At the root of your composition use a `Box` to overlay your modal content over the other content
. 
1. Use the `Popup` composable
. It uses a different window, like `Dialog`, but without all the styling implications of `Dialog`. 

Eg the text selection handles use `Popup`. I think `DropdownMenu` does as well. 

<@U01SUB9RC5P> <@U0KMMQA20> Thanks guys. I'm interested in adding a new `Window` so `Dialog` or `Popup` would be suitable...but. I have a problem with the misleading intention (a `Popup` is a `Popup`, not a screen). So if I don't want to go with `Popup` or `Dialog` I would have to compose my own "FullScreen" component by leveraging the underlying `Dialog/Popup` logic (i.e. adding a new Window), right?

You should be able to make a `Popup` take up the whole screen if you want. If you want to wrap that in your own composable to enforce styling or api requirements, go ahead.
