Select a strokes material while drawing

While in GP draw mode, it would be useful to have a way to select the material used by an existing stroke. Basically an eyedropper.

Not sure there are any shortcuts available, but maybe if we Alt-RMB a stroke and its material will become active to be used by the next new stroke. Maybe it could be a option added to the RMB menu.

if you switch to edit mode, you can select any stroke and then in the edit mode menus at the top of the screen, go to Stroke > Set as active material

Having just started using the new Grease Pencil features to do some in depth animation this would be a huge time saver. Selecting a layer while drawing would also be great.
