when using a tool, if this tool requires the selection of a specific element in the diagram, all the visible candidate elements could be highlighted in order to facilitate the understanding of the tool and gain time.
Interesting feature request, we could do that for mapping based tool, i.e. some MappingBasedToolDescription but not all : - ContainerCreationDescription - EdgeCreationDescription - NodeCreationDescription - ReconnectEdgeDescription We can see an incoherence with MappingBasedToolDescription which doesn't reference mapping, some of its subclass yes but not all, ToolDescription for example.
It seems like a naive implementation could have a large negative impact on performance, if we try to evaluate the tool's precondition on all the visible elements. There might be some trick/non-obvious way of doing this without the impact, but if there isn't the performance cost may not be worth the added convenience.
