IMHO there should be a solution outside of the digitizer (i.e. without 
risking any alteration of the actual map), something along the lines of 
"d.what.vect -e".

Christian, if this is what you need, you will have to use it with the 
"old-style" x-monitors from the command line, i.e.:

d.mon x0
d.vect YourMap
d.what.vect -e YourMap

This is typically one element which would be GUI-only as I don't think 
it would make much sense to program an interactive command line version...

So maybe something to think about for wxgrass.
