If you'd like to put out an incentive for implementing this feature, you can do so at https://issuehunt.io/r/bk138/gromit-mpx

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
This isn't a problem.

Describe the solution you'd like
Add "stamps" functionality. For example, the user might press a hotkey to enter "stamp mode". At that point, the normal configuration that might change pen styles/colors, would select different images to write with (e.g., pen button 1 is an arrow stamp, pen button 2 is a star stamp). The user would then "tap" their pen on the drawpad wherever they want the stamp/image to appear.

Even better, an option for only the last stamp to remain on screen, which would become a sort of pointer. For example, I could tap my drawpad to "stamp" an arrow pointing to one part of the screen, in order to draw the viewer's attention.

A moment later, I tap a different part of the screen, to draw the viewer's attention there instead. The previous drawing of the stamp would disappear, and the stamp would be drawn to the currently tapped area.

Default/Stock stamps could include arrows and stars, but perhaps the user could configure custom images as well.

Describe alternatives you've considered
I cannot think of a way to do this in Gromit-MPX currently, but I'm only a day old. I suppose I would just draw a small line for emphasis, then erase it after. But that seems clumsy.

Additional context
This is one of my top used features within Zoom (which I am trying to replace with more FOSSy utils).
