Description
### Description of the new feature / enhancement
Would be amazing can change or modify the way how mouse's wheel works on screen, like if i want to get a smoth movement (without jumps) at the moment to use the mouse's wheel.
### Scenario when this would be used?
For example, to take a large screenshot with ZoomIt tools. I realized when i want to take a large screen shot in a specific area of my screen and use the mouse's wheel the screenshot show a kind of jumps or the images has a weird kind of delay, i noticed that this "jumps" are thanks to the regular way how works the mouse's wheel. I did the proof the same scenary but using this time the scroll bar in a teams chat, with that way the photo hasn't weird jumps and the content was taken succesfully. This is one scenario, but i think for sure could be more, thanks.

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by clarifying which PowerToys utility or Windows input path should own smooth mouse-wheel scrolling; the issue names no file, module, or entry point. Define the expected scrolling behavior and a reproducible scenario before implementation, then verify that scrolling no longer produces the reported jumps in the target use case.
