AR Clear/Override Specific Elements

[ThatGravyBoat]

Describe your idea

Ability to clear specific elements from the AR Glasses rather than the whole canvas, you can possibly store the canvas as a map of Strings to ARRenderAction instead of a list and then you can maybe do this for example in a script

local controller = peripheral.find('arController')
local detector = peripheral.find("environmentDetector")

controller.drawItemIcon("minecraft:clock", 4, 4)

while true do
    local timeseconds = math.floor((detector.getTime() % 24000) / 20)
 
    local endTime
    local endTimeNum = math.floor(60*((timeseconds / 60) % 1))
    if endTimeNum < 10 then
        endTime = "0" .. tostring(endTimeNum)
    else
        endTime = tostring(endTimeNum)
    end
 
    controller.clearElement("clock_text")
    controller.drawStringWithId("clock_text", tostring(math.floor(timeseconds / 60)) .. ":" .. endTime, 20, 8, 16777215)
 
    os.sleep(0.25)
end

there is one thing about the script above and that is if its a map the drawStringWithId should override the previous one with the same id so that things such as the script I gave in my example would make it so none of it flickers, the clear specific element is so that it doesn't clear the clock when I clear the text but if drawStringWithId overrides the previous one the clear wouldn't be needed in that script but it could be useful for other things.
