This data cursor stuff is merely a hack. I don't think developers would
agree to add this to the official Octave branch...

Perhaps, but things often eventually get lost on the mailing list.  Even if it gets marked low priority / won't fix / whatever, putting this on the tracker gives it a permanent home, puts it somewhere that someone else might find later, and maybe serves as a starting point for a less hack-ish hack.
