IMHO the key thing here is not just snapping to extensions of bbox, but _visualizing_ what it is that you snap to. In AI, it flashes the snap line when it snaps. We need to add infrastructure that would enable such displays when snapping, then smart guides will be easy.
Absolutely! It's also needed for the post-snap visualization that was discussed a few months ago, in which something lights up for a second at the point that has snapped. What would be a good starting point in the code to find out how such a thing would be drawn to the canvas? Do you already have passive elements like that, not allowing user interaction and disappearing after some time?

If I'm correct, the on-canvas editing of live path effects does an artificial highlight of the same nature (meaning there is already something in the codebase to support it). It does need a little tweaking, but hopefully most of the base stuff is already taken care of.
