I've been using Qubes on and off on a touchscreen device for a while, and while 
dom0 more or less supports touchscreens (although onl by emulating mouse 
events) guests only see mouse events. While that's fine for laptops it limits 
Qubes utility on the increasingly common 2 in 1 devices. While I understand 
that this is likely a fairly low priority, near as I can tell (as a 
non-programmer) it should be fairly simple to improve the situation by adding 
touchscreen messages to the Qubes GUI protocol. The idea would be that 
touchscreen events generated in an area of the screen rendering part of the 
guest would get passed directly through to the guest, similar to mouse events 
currently. That should allow for guests that support it (e.g. running an HVM 
fullscreen, multitouch supporting applications in a guest) to respond 
appropriately to inputs such as multitouch gestures and touch events on text 
boxes.
Is this something that would be feasible to add?
