Get the position of inventory CoreGuis

As a Roblox developer, it is currently too hard to get the GUI position of tools in the default inventory. I’m creating a tutorial where I need to guide the user to equip a certain tool, so I need the inventory position to create a GUI arrow or frame around it. I can imagine this is a common case for tutorials.

If Roblox is able to address this issue, it would improve my development experience because it would allow me to create better tutorials, improving my game’s retention.

More flexibility with interacting with the core systems would be nice 100%. Will bring more enjoyment to the platform with little tweaks like this but I feel its unlikely due to security issues.

This would be super helpful. It would also just be nice if the backpack code was a starterscript that devs could modify. I don’t think the backpack does anything that requires restricted api access so I’m not sure why it isn’t accessible like this.

I would love overall customization of the inventory system, like how TextChatService did for the chat. I’ve had to make my own system just to make it so that it unlocks your cursor when you open the inventory, but did add a lot of customization to it. I would love to have the concept to be added overall, including being able to tell where each slot is in Vector2 space
