Description
Related to https://github.com/OpenRA/OpenRA/issues/5739 but not the same. That's why I split issues.
Now that I am thinking of this idea, there can probably be an easier way (rather than adding a new button at the top).
Why not simply adding a new check-box in game options and cheats, to let team-mates capture your own buildings with the engineer? This way, it would do the same thing as Microbit's idea, and as an option, it would up to the game admin to decide to enable it or not.

Research direction
Review issue #5691 alongside related issue #5739 and the option and cheat screenshots. Trace where game options, cheats, and engineer building-capture permissions are defined, then confirm how the setting should affect teammates and game-admin control. Done means the behavior is configurable as described and verified in relevant gameplay tests.
