I requested the same in the past and then recently I found this old ticket (https://bugs.scribus.net/view.php?id=162) on the bugsite. I think there would be more that would like to have this feature for their regular/occasional workflow.
I took a shot at it and here is a clip in Matrix chat (https://matrix.to/#/!BZkELQEZlDksZnLoCJ:matrix.org/$vSuNOjuNdaEBaeJItawr3UGGLb7IFihWRLGfyznBzzo?via=matrix.org&via=one.ems.host&via=kde.org) demonstrating the feature in action.
Kindly, comment you opinion on the same.
Here is another link to the short demo clip if you cannot view it at the above one: click here. (https://drive.proton.me/urls/7RY74FS82R#jMK8KDMvlUhG)
