Display the drawer open in Landscape or on larger devices

Question

Hi, I'm new to using Maui, but I'm getting a lot of use out of the Syncfusion controls. I'm using the SfNavigationDrawer for my main flyout navigation and it's working perfectly for me when I'm in mobile, but my app is going to be targeted at both mobile devices and a Windows application, and when I'm on Windows (or possibly on tablets as well) I want to display the navigation drawer as always visible on the left, with the main content visible beside it. Is there any way to do that? This is kind of like a website collapsing left-pane navigation when viewed on small screens, but displaying it when viewed on larger screens. I'm open to alternative solutions as well, as I'm still in the early stages of my layout design.

Thanks in advance.
