Animation Curves in Viewport

In After Effects (and C4D I think) we can display animation curves in the Viewport.

(Note : I know some users will want to be able also to play with bezier curves in the Viewport. I think it is not possible as Blender work like After Effects "separate dimensions" mode.)

But it would be very useful "just" to see animation path, be able to select keyframe in Viewport and move points also in the Viewport.

It's called "motion path", sometimes "motion trail", and it's already available in Blender for a long time now:
Motion Paths — Blender Manual

As to editability in the viewport, some addons offer that extra feature among others, such as MotionTrail3D - Blender Market .

If an addon exists for the UX, means the default master needs it. That addon is nice though.

You can visualize motion paths in blender. Here is a link to a video showcasing this feature youtu.be/z9qXeHT-EnM

There is also a paid add-on for blender, which allows for animation workflow based around manipulation of this path in 3D viewport, called Motiontrail3D
