draft mode needed for text, filled objects and pictures

This issue is also for Impress. With implementing issue 80528 the draft modus is completely lost. But such a draft modus is still useful. In this modus for all texts, filled objects, and pictures only small border lines are shown and the rest is transparent. So you can easily see the real size of text boxes and outlines, or you can see whether a picture hides another object, for example. You should be able to move and snap the objects as in normal mode. It would be nice to be able to print in this draft mode, for to control the positions of the objects without wasting ink. There is no need to have such a mode separately for each object and no need to have this as setting in tools > options. I wish an easy access with an on/off symbol in the toolbar "Options".
This is an enhancement
