Graph Info Box: Also show wave point number in addition to trace point number

The Graph Info Box shows the point a certain cursor is on, where 'point' is a number from the plotted range of points in the trace. This is fine when the full range of a wave is displayed. However, I often have only a subset plotted, which makes it difficult to identify the corresponding data point in a wave from the cursor 'point'. It gets even worse with sparse data plots. Would it be possible to show the trace point number and the corresponding wave point number as well? The y-wave would be sufficient or maybe add a toggle to switch to the x wave. I imagine something like (e.g., fourth point of a trace but actually 17th point of the wave):
A pnt: 4 [17]
or (in case of multidimensional waves)
A pnt: 4 [17][3][0]
Would wave point number in a tooltip work for you?

Thanks for the swift reply! Yes that would be sufficient for me. Having this information in the Info panel directly would surely be more convenient, though. So far, I had a calculator next to me, but today I also built this functionality into my tools today.

I'm just concerned about space in a widget that already can be quite full. And a subrange that refers to a beam could get quite long.
