How to make a transparent window that does not interfere with managing other applications through it?

Good afternoon, I want to create a small program that displays various information in a translucent window on top of other applications. The question is whether it is possible to implement a window in such a way that it is possible to make mouse clicks through it. For now, I assume that it is possible to somehow transfer information about the intercepted coordinates to the OS and send it to the application located directly below it. I would be grateful if someone could explain the principle of window links, for example, in windows, or point to the literature in which this can be read.

If we talk about Windows, then you can set the extended style WS_EX_TRANSPARENT to the window, then it will skip mouse events.
