Hi Victor, Nef has had a look at this, and unfortunately there are two issues. Firstly, it need quite a bit of work to get it working fully. As Nef says, "it doesn't work out of the box". The other issue is it uses a different js library than our usual. We are reluctant to use another library, it's a lot easier for us to maintain things if they are consistent.
It's a nice looking feature, but it looks like it would take too much time to convert it for our use. I certainly hope we can keep the functionality in mind though, and maybe add it to future feature developments.
