Hi Marc - it's an interesting idea, but it wouldn't quite fit into the structure of how Trim works currently.

Right now, hit testing is turned off for the original curve when you are at the "Select cutting objects" stage - that helps make it easier to select any cutting objects that may be intersecting the curve.

When you push "Add trim points", then hit testing is turned back on for that curve, and you are in a full point pick type mode where the point pick behaves normally like you see a point tracking around when you move your mouse, etc...

The way that you are talking about would be kind of like trying to pick a point but not having the regular point pick behavior with the point tracking - that's kind of inconsistent behavior.
