Indicator in Histogram, Waveform etc. during mouseover the picture #16592

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. It is not related to a problem. Only a feature...

Describe the solution you'd like It would be nice to have an indicator in the Waveform, Histogram, etc. if you mousover a special region within the picture, so that you can see directly, which part of the picture will be represented within the Histogram, Waveform, etc. view. This could be indicated by a little circle or something like that. I have seen this feature in Davinci Resolve. There you have the same behavior and i find this feature very helpful because you can see directly, which colors or parts of the picture (low, mids, highs, which colors, etc.) have to be adjusted. Maybe you integrate a little switch in the lower area, where you can already switch on the over/underexposure, focus area, softproof, etc.

Thanks

IIUC, you can do that using the global color picker and select the option to display the picker on the histogram : "display samples on image/vectorscope".
