### Proposed new feature or change

Could the ability to update geometries please be added to the gui.SceneWidget? At the moment it appears that the work around is to remove_geometry then add it back with add_geometry. However this takes a bit of time to complete (with larger point clouds).

This issue has been referenced before (#issue_6430) , but has been marked as resolved - however I believe the current fix is just temporary. As, In the [Example](https://github.com/isl-org/Open3D/blob/main/examples/python/visualization/online_processing.py) , there is a comment on line 379:

``` TODO(ssheorey) Switch to update_geometry() after #3452 is fixed. ```

Thanks.
