Ableton-like Scrollbar behaviour - Drag Left and right is scroll, drag up and down is zoom

Not sure why this isn't already just standard behaviour for all scrollbars everywhere but in Ableton Live, on a horizontal scrollbar, dragging left and right scrolls left and right as expected, but dragging up and down zooms in and out. Super intuitive.

We already have plenty ways to zoom. Starting from just rolling the mouse wheel.

You can also zoom (and in X and Y directions when it makes sense) using <kbd>ctrl</kbd><kbd>MMB</kbd> drag. And this can be done on any editor, and even some areas inside editors, like sidebars.

i don't think that would work with blenders existing ui, it would defiently get bothersome with the drag-expanding sub menus.
