xdg-foreign is a protocol meant to enable setting up inter surface relationships across clients. Potential use cases are out-of-process dialogs, such as file dialogs, meant to be used by sandboxed processes that may not have the access it needs to implement such dialogs. It works by enabling a client to export a surface, creating a handle for the exported surface. The handle, in form of a unique string, may be shared in some way with other clients (for example the provider of the file dialog) which can then import the exported surface.
