Description
I'm working on a revival of adding witness support to gettxproof / verifytxproof in https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/32844. I have prototype here in https://github.com/Sjors/bitcoin/pull/116.
An open question is whether this needs a witness equivalent for -txindex, such as https://github.com/Sjors/bitcoin/pull/117.

Research direction
Read the linked Bitcoin Core PR #32844 and the prototype PR #116, then compare the proposed witness index in PR #117. Done means deciding whether a -wtxindex equivalent is needed; the issue does not identify implementation files or tests.
