How to track mask tracking the edge, not the enclosed are?

Let’s say I have a clip of a building and want to mask the windows. Both the building’s wall and the reflection from the window are moving (not a static image). If I track the mask for a window, the mask follows the movement of the reflections from the window, not the window frame.

So how could I make the tracker follow the window frame(s)?

Thanks in advance!

    You can't. for such stuff you still have to resort to mocha and define arbitrary tracking points tied to their masking system.

    Thanks Mylenium! I've known mocha, but haven't used it before. It seems very fluent with AE2019 and seems to work well.
