Thanks @mariamc . They did get back to me. Basically the current Editor X iframe element doesn’t behave in that manner but the dev team will take it into considerations for any updates. They did provide a possible way using Velo in dev mode but its not in the clients budget to work through all that. 
I’ve pasted the provided link just in case anyone else has interest.
