Feature suggestion...Filament Changes at exact points in gcode

We have layer by layer filament changes why can't we insert stops or filament changes at exact points in gcode. like here is the perfect example of when the uno card box... it needs a single color for part of a layer so that the text can be different.  Seems like it would be easy to add this feature. I tried to figure out the MMU/paint. but it would be nice to have an option to add in filament changes.

Unless I am not understanding what you are trying to do this may be something that is easier to do in a CAD program? And then imported into PrusaSlicer as an object with multiple parts?

Hmm inserting a photo into post didn't seem to work.  Attaching instead.
