By visible I mean that it is not present on the current virtual desktop.
Lets say the user has a frame on desktop 1 but is on  desktop 2.
Now they open a mailto link and the link will be opened in the frame on
desktop one despite them being on desktop 2.

With in any frame I mean any frame without filtering out those which are
currently not visible on the users screen.
