How to bring grouped window into focus?

[aksdb]

With hyprctl clients I get all windows. No matter if they are in a group or not. Which is fine; this is what I want anyway.
If I issue hyprctl dispatch focuswindow addr:<someaddr from the client list>, I get hyprland zu switch to the appropriate workspace and focus the given window. However, if that window is in the back of a group, nothing happens.

What I expected was, that the group gets brought into focus and the given window to the top.

Is this not-yet-implemented, a bug, or am I doing it wrong?

Edit: I also tried hyprctl --batch "dispatch focuswindow address:$addr; dispatch bringactivetotop", without success.

Edit 2: Changed "stacked" to "grouped".

wdym "in the back of a stack"?

[aksdb]

With togglegroup the windows end up "stacked". So I have one active window, and the other window(s) are in the back. I can switch through them using changegroupactive.

I am looking for a quick way to find & switch to a window, even if it happens to be in a group/stack and is therefore "hidden" behind other window(s).

oh, you mean grouped. Stacked windows are floating windows.

No other way than cycling.

Should I create a feature request for this or do you think this would be completely out of scope?

Naively it seems to me that focuswindow should implicitly make sure it's also the active window within a group. But I have almost zero knowledge of the inner workings of hypr (and wayland) so it might seem much easier in my head than it actually is.

feel free to make an issue, but it has to wait for #770 regardless
