Control SSE connection state and check received events from other requests in Postman

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.
