Topic: Drawing visual markings on top of analysers?

Hey! I'd love to be able to add "notes" or doodles on top of the analysers, just be able to draw a arbitary little drawing on top of the spectral analyser or scopes? This would give fast visual reference to a level or meter reading that I wanted to keep tabs on.
For example if I know I easily get a bit busy at 2k and want to keep tabs on it. Would be very easy to just draw a little line on that. And it would instantly visually indicate if I'm hitting over -38 at 2k or something. Or that my low end is getting out of control if I'm consistently going above the contour that I draw on the low end. Or that I'm pushing too much into the back speakers. These could be really fast to draw and recall by having like a quick key control that just turns your mouse to a pen and lets you noodle on top of the analyser window and have these saveable and recallable from the right click menu on the analyser.

Little mockup of what im talking about here:

Doesn't have to be more fancy than that to be functional and helpful.

Hope you'll consider adding something like this smile
Thanks!

I can't deny I like the idea, but it's not for me to decide whether that's doable...

Maybe, instead of freehand drawing, that might be difficult to scale, something like B-splines could be doable.

Could be a feature "show drawing line"
Average measure in some case or maximum points, EQ curve, similar to the shown image, a few preference adjustments to the line, stay for ever until switch off, stay 10 seconds, color, thikness, etc.

perhaps change of color for different levels?
