Implement Attribute Text overlay for Grease Pencil

Currently, it is not possible to view attributes of Grease Pencil geometry with the viewer node in conjunction with the Attribute Test overlay option.

Having this option would ease working with geometry node setups for Grease Pencil drawings.

Yeah . Also in 'Mesh edit mode overlays' there is a option called 'Indices' . Would be cool if the grease pencil points had something like that so you can see the points numbered in the viewport Instead of having to open the spreadsheet and test each point to find it.

Well with Attribute Text and a geometry nodes setup, you could view indices and various other data with the overlay, but that would indeed require making a small Geometry Nodes setup, so if the user just wanted to quickly see point indices, having a specialized option for viewing point indices would be faster for the user. Though Attribute text would be more flexible. Not saying it shouln't be done, but that attribute text can handle that task too.
