Show me target location at X

[TrooperCooper]

For a better situational awarness and improved planning options, it would be nice to see a targets location at any given time of my planned orbits. At the moment, we do get a "closest approach" indicator. But even when its bugs would be fixed (at the moment it for example doesnt always show the true closest approach), easier planning would be made possible by showing a targets location relative to the players planned location at any given time.

Some paintshop-edited pics to show what I mean, in case my loosy english fails...

First pic shows me trying to get an approach on Eve from out of the Kerbins orbit. First maneuver node has been placed and that displays the new planned orbit with the dotted line. For whatever reason I do not get an approach right away. Nor do I get a "closest approach".

Next I click on my planned path in the vicinity of the intended approach to bring up the context menu, where at the moment I can just use the "Add maneuver" button.

With the feature that I suggest here, within that context menu we would get another button, which says "relative target location" or something like that.

Clicking said button would then display me the detailed relative locations at the selected moment in my planned flight path.

Another possible way to implement this would be to display the information simply when the player mouse-overs his orbit plan at any given time.

This would allow me to easier plan approaches and generally more complex intercept maneuvers etc. Might even be modable, but I have no idea about that...
