i agree that a panel like this would probably have its own containment
for various issues transparency and a background like that maybe could
be done with framesvg, but the result would be so so

aaanyways, using an hnint for the mask would be sensible, like using
hint-mask-prefix- when found and the usual way when not, that would be
99.9% of the times
