Separate LanguageTool / Grammar Error Popup / Listing

Describe the feature and the current behavior/state

Right now Language Tool helps correct grammar errors and it is incredible helpful. The implemented way for communicating these errors to the user is via squiggly lines in the editor. While the support is good, for large (and not that large projects, LaTeX code grows quickly) it is really difficult to visually scan the whole file for those lines.

It would be much better to have a centralized place where all grammar errors / LanguageTool reports appear, so we can just review that section and fix every problem (maybe would be even better if support for ignoring some grammar errors was added, but that is a secondary feature).

Right now there are PopUp windows for "Check Spelling", but they don't include LanguageTool reports (which are really important). LanguageTool reports may be added to the same PopUp, another PopUp or even a table listing like Messages and Log.

Who will benefit with this feature?

Anyone who wants to check grammar errors. Specially people who write longer documents such as reports, books, thesis, etc. The ability to have those errors centralized that most text processors already have would make the support for LanguageTool (which is pretty good) be even better and make TexStudio out stand.

Any Other info

Any centralized place to see the grammar errors would be helpful, be it a table listing like Messages and Log or be it a PopUp like "Check Spelling" or any other centralized place where all LanguageTool feedback can be reviewed without having to visually scan the whole document for squiggly lines.
