Webview always on top (Metro app)

I've noticed that whenever you have a WebView on your screen, it will be the top-most element of the UI. Is there a way to set a z-index?

There is no way to set z-index or anything similar, WebView is always on top of the XAML ("Airspace" issue). You have to hide web view if new content completely hides WebView or use WebViewBrush control.

From https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/windows.ui.xaml.controls.webview.aspx:

Note The "airspace problem" has been fixed starting with Windows 8.1.
