All morphs are freely positionable in the world and can be stacked
like the windows themselves (which are morphs, too). So you could
create/draw a morph with the necessary dimensions and place it such
that it overlaps with the windows as desired.

    (LineMorph from: 100 at 100 to: 200 at 300 color: Color yellow width: 5)
openInWorld

    window1 := ToolBuilder open: Browser new.
    window2 := ToolBuilder open: Workspace new.
    line := LineMorph
        from: (window1 findDeeplyA: SystemWindowButton) center
        to: (window2 findDeeplyA: TextMorph) positionInWorld
        color: Color red
        width: 3.
    line openInWorld.
