FR: select element for capture with reticle #11

It'd be cool to be able to select a DOM element with the reticle in addition to only drawing a rectangle. As you mouse over the page, elements would be highlighted in a manner similar to when mousing over elements in the "Elements" tab in Chrome's developer tools, or the similar tool in Firefox.

I'd wager that capturing a particular segment of the DOM is actually what most people want when they select an area to capture. This could provide it in an easier way. For people who really do want a rectangle that isn't a single whole element, click-and-drag can still draw a rectangle to capture (single click would capture the highlighted element).
