Ability to apply DemoMonkey to canvas labels

[svrnm]

hey @vnl, how's it going?:-)

The problem with canvas is that from a DOM-perspective they are like images, a black box. So applying modifications to them requires special attention. I looked into that a while ago for AppD and the only solution I could come up with was very specific to the APIs of the product.

Thanks @svrnm I do understand. They act like images. Ah well.

follow up on that: What could work is monkey patching the related APIs of canvas (see here: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Canvas_API/Tutorial/Drawing_text?retiredLocale=de): So when those APIs are called they go through a list of replacements from DemoMonkey end then call the original command. This of course comes with lots of problems & only works when the text is created for the first time.

If you (or anybody) else is up for that challenge I am happy to take a contribution for that.
