Describe the solution you'd like

You could use a brush to paint the parts to be compensated (like the support, or to paint the seam.) The brush could act like a paint pot for the support: it would select the area to be compensated with a single click. You would enter the amount of compensation in an interactive window and then paint with that value. You could have a different value with a different colour when painting, so you can see the different compensation.

This could also be a solution to the request of someone who asked for a variable compensation according to the size of the hole: https://github.com/SoftFever/OrcaSlicer/issues/3532

A global compensation, like the current one, could remain and painting could only be an option for those who need exact and different compensation on the same model.

A note on printing precise holes, the "convert holes to polyholes" option improves dimensional accuracy quite a bit (I still had to add 0.1 mm of tolerance in CAD for a close fit with a matching part of same diameter, but that value seemed independent of the hole size, which is already a big win), and with "rotate polyhole" option turned on, the result wasn't visually distinguishable from a round hole to me (might be different for very small holes, the smallest I tried was 5mm which got turned into a 12-sided polygon).

This is of course not a replacement for this request, but a potential alternative to try in the meantime - polyhole option is not very well described in the UI and for a long time I had no idea it's about dimensional accuracy.
