Browser Lock Functionality on Qualtrics Survey?

Hello,
My team is looking for a way to lock participants' browsers on the Qualtrics survey page for the entire time they are taking the survey. The participants will complete the survey from home on their personal devices without direct supervision and the investigators are concerned that participants will be distracted by other tabs/windows on their browser during this rather lengthy survey. I am aware of similar functionalities integrated in exam apps, e.g., Examplify, Respondus LockDown Browser, but cannot seem to find a straightforward way to achieve this in Qualtrics.
I was wondering if anyone was aware of any custom coding/back-end integration solutions that allow for this on Qualtrics. We would be very appreciative of any ideas you may have. Thank you so much!

Best,
Evan

This would a really nice thing to have. At present I use the browser visibility change event to determine if they have switched to another tab/app... But locking the browser would be great.
