How should I design a Window-Context library for a graphics api?

I am tryng to do something like GLFW does, except that i don't want to be limited to just use OpenGL or Vulkan; Instead, I would like to be able to create a new XContext.h and XContext.cpp files for each graphics api i'm going to support, and then Window.Bind() that `XContext to the window itself.
Should I be doing things this way? Are there any drawbacks that I'm not seeing?
