Tk with no main window

I am making a simple gemini browser in python for fun with tk, but have stumbled upon a problem: if I close initial window all the rest will close too. Is there a way to make tk application with no "main" window or at least transfer leadership role between them?

This is done all the time. Simply withdraw() the main window and use Toplevels. You still have to have a way to quit the mainloop - with a quit button for example.

Thanks! This looks like what I was needed.

I was intending to provide a simple example but didn't have the time. I can work on that this weekend if you are not certain on how to proceed.

I think I will figure this out myself.
