[Enhancement] Hit Testing service for element selection #1897

Closed drasticactions closed 2 years ago

Summary

Given an point or rect, return an element or list of elements that are contained on or in that point. This service is necessary for being able to do element selection within features like Hot Reload or Live Preview, where a user can use an element selector to pick an object they want to know more about.

This ask is similar to https://github.com/dotnet/maui/issues/572, which requires the same functionality in order to draw adorners.
