System Information
Operating system: Windows 10
Graphics card: Nvidia GTX 1080 Ti

Blender Version
Broken: 2.93.4 LTS
Worked: -

Short description of error
The eyedropper tool does not work across Blender windows. The cursor icon indicates that it can, but nothing happens.
The difference (to having it in the same window) is obvious as soon as you hover a pickable object. Usually it's name appears. When picking across windows it doesn't.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
Open a second main window. Have a viewport open in the first window and a properties panel in the second. Add any modifier with an object selection field to any object. Try picking an object using the eyedropper from the viewport in the other window.

I didn't consider this to be a critical issue to add to 2.93.
But now I've added it to the list of fixes to be backported.
