Description

Describe the problem

I have a page loader indicator on the root layout level.
But I also have a page loader indicator on deeper layouts.
The problem is that knowing when to show the correct page loader without Sveltekit giving some extra info is impossible.
The navigating store only tells me the from and to URLs.
But that doesn't tell me which layout is going to change.
Or what loader is going to be called?

Describe the proposed solution

Maybe we could have a more local navigating store inside every layout / page?
Or maybe a will-unload indicator that will let me know that a given layout / page is going to be replaced when the navigation is done. I'm also open to other solutions. Or if there are any existing ones.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the navigating store and how nested layouts and pages participate in navigation. Compare the requested local store or will-unload indicator against the current from and to URL information. Done would mean defining and implementing a clear way for each layout or page to know whether it will be replaced, with behavior that supports the appropriate loader indicator.
