Is your feature request related to a problem?

Postman does not provide a way to directly monitor or control an open SSE (Server-Sent Events) connection from other requests. This makes it difficult to verify whether a specific event has been received in response to a certain API request, especially when time-sensitive actions are required. In real-world use cases, where systems rely on real-time event streams, this limitation can hinder effective API testing and validation of reactive behaviors.

My request relates to this post

Describe the solution you'd like

I would like Postman to introduce functionality that allows users to observe or monitor an active SSE connection and link it to a collection, a group of requests or one request.

This feature should enable the verification that a particular event has been received in response to a request within a specified time window (e.g., within n milliseconds).

This would greatly enhance the ability to test real-time, event-driven systems and improve the reliability of API testing in reactive architectures.
