You would use something like this:

```Python
from java.awt import Window
from javax.swing import SwingUtilities

allWindows = system.gui.getOpenedWindows()

if len(allWindows)>0:
    topWindow = SwingUtilities.getAncestorOfClass(Window, allWindows[0])
    topWindow.toFront()

```

but you would want to have some property change scripts and maybe put this in a custom method to call whenever. This will allow you to only notify for updates of tags on the page based on what you configure to actually fire this event.
