What problem does this solve or what need does it fill?

Text should be pickable, with an eye to implementing a first party editable text field.

What solution would you like?

A picking backend for Text and Text2d that gives the position in text of the pointer interaction.

What alternative(s) have you considered?

Third party crates, like bevy_cosmic_edit and bevy_simple_text_input. Though both crates could benefit from having text picking built in.

Additional context

I'm working on a backend in this branch https://github.com/bytemunch/bevy/tree/text_picking , thought it would be easier for discussion as an issue rather than discord. It's an issue rather than a PR because the code is very rough and un-ready at the moment :)
