Shortcut to allow UI interactions while pickwhipping

Currently, if you’re pickwhipping and you need to access a property that’s hidden, then you need to stop pickwhipping, open up the property, and then pickwhip again.

It would be helpful to be able to hold a designated key to temporarily suppress the pickwhip, allowing you to interact with the UI (eg. twirl open properties, unshy layers, or open another comp), before continuing to connect the active pickwhip.

The above is an example for the expression pickwhip (where this would be most useful), but this would also be applicable to layer pickwhips and matte pickwhips (eg. if you need to unshy layers).
