Pinning secondary windows alongside 3D scenes for same app in hololens

I am trying to create a holographic app where i have a 3D scene created in Unity. Upon interaction with a 3d model in that scene, i want a plane that renders a webpage to pop up alongside the model. To achieve this i have created a UWP plugin using ApplicationViewSwitcher to switch to another window with the following code:
ApplicationView currentAppView = ApplicationView.GetForCurrentView();
mainViewId = currentAppView.Id;
CoreApplicationView newCoreAppView = CoreApplication.CreateNewView();
bool result = true;
newCoreAppView.Dispatcher.RunAsync(
CoreDispatcherPriority.Normal,
async () =>
{
Window newWindow = Window.Current;
var webView = new WebView(WebViewExecutionMode.SeparateThread);
webView.Navigate(new Uri("http://www.bing.com"));
webView.DoubleTapped += SwitchView;
newWindow.Content = webView;
newWindow.Activate();
ApplicationView newAppView = ApplicationView.GetForCurrentView();
result = await ApplicationViewSwitcher.TryShowAsStandaloneAsync(
newAppView.Id,
ViewSizePreference.UseHalf,
currentAppView.Id,
ViewSizePreference.UseMore);
});
I am able to successfully load a new 2d window with the webpage upon interaction but the original 3d scene gets lost. My expectation was some sort of pinned window displaying webpage alongside the 3d scene. Can someone suggest approaches to achieve that?
