Description
The raw.plot browser lacks a tool to zoom into a portion of the signal using the mouse. Would this be a useful feature? I'm willing to work on it (because I need it), but this will probably take some time to implement. Do you have suggestions on the UX? Maybe just trigger the action if the user drags the mouse (visual feedback in the form of a rectangle would be nice though)? Is there something similar already somewhere in MNE?

Research direction
Start by examining the raw.plot browser entry point and looking for existing mouse interaction or zoom behavior elsewhere in MNE. The issue leaves the UX undecided, including drag behavior and rectangle feedback, so confirm the interaction design before implementation. Done would mean an agreed and tested mouse-based rectangle zoom workflow.
