Geometry Nodes – Add Detect operation to Boolean node

It would be great to be able to output a face selection of intersecting objects without the boolean cutting the geometry at all. A detect operation would be cool with the Fields and Anonymous Attributes looks. Here is a quick mockup

Default.jpg here is a pic just to get an idea of what faces the boolean would output as its selection since they intersect. select 2.JPG

A disclaimer... I got this idea from looking at houdinis boolean node and they also have Seam and Shatter operations that seem useful and not currently available in blender geometry nodes. However detect style option may be the simplest for the blender developers to do.
