Color Picker - Include X, Y Coordinates of picked color.

Description of the new feature / enhancement

Ideally, from the Color Picker > Color Formats > Custom Format, this could be included as %Xp and %Yp variables.

Different methods of obtaining said coordinate may be helpful, that being:

  • Display Resolution
  • Only the Active Window
  • Case handling for multi-displays

As such, after selecting a color in Hex, you could then paste down ID:0D1117, X:1873, Y:1011 or similar.

Scenario when this would be used?

Picking a color is great and all, but when it comes to scripting with color values and pixels on-screen for automated tasks, it would really help if this would show + copy the X and Y coordinates associated with the chosen color. This would greatly help with my own personal productivity, and perhaps others would appreciate it as well.
