“Vector Guided Drawing” for Grease Pencil - Feature Request

Hello, this idea originates from the animation software OpenToonz, where the feature is known as "Vector Guided Drawing".

How it works: When you draw a stroke in one frame and move to the next, the system shows a cross at the starting point of the previous stroke and arrows indicating the stroke’s direction. As you draw in the new frame, it automatically moves to the next stroke from the previous frame, helping you follow the order and flow of the drawing.

I think this feature would be extremely useful for interpolation sequence if it were added to Blender Grease Pencil.

This image shows the 'Vector Guided Drawing' feature in action from the OpenToonz software. It comes from the following video: "OpenToonz The best automatic inbetween Vs Cacani Vs TweenMaker (Arabic) by Aninoss Pro" youtu.be/IcbCS1-V2l0
