Column type Map Metric (area and distance ) / Measure Maps feature

[baba_sawane]

Idea : add a column type "Map metric"

Feature : will show a map and the user can select a surface or a distance by placing dots. The column value will be the metric value. (see screenshots below)

Parameters : in column parameters, we should be able to select the return metric, either distance or area/surface

Use case : A lot of industries work directly with maps and geocoding tools (https://www.geoportail.gouv.fr/carte for example). I made an app that is used to do two solar panel installation analysis. Some calculation variables depends on the surface of the studied site (everything is done with the client) so I need to get this value easily.

FYI : This feature is already available in Google Maps. If creating an entire column is too much, it would be nice to at least be able to use the right click to access this feature.
