Paint for compositor

We do have the ability to texture paint and use that paint in compositor set up.

For example this video-

But it would be far better if the compositor worked like this-

Having the viewer or compositor image as a background and the ability to paint on top of it. It could also be an overlay.

This is not a important feature request just something i thought would be possible to implement so i just gave a suggestion :) thank you blender team
