"In Inventory" Icon above players' heads

One feature in bedrock I really liked was when trading with a villager, an emerald would appear above their head. So it made me think- what's stopping this from working with players when they have their inventory open? It could help out by showing other players the status of another player.

    I think it would be an interesting visual cue of what a player is doing and would be cool in the game, but it does make the inventory visible to other players, and I liked the fact that only you really know what is in your inventory.

    Well, maybe it would make you invincible (cuz nobody likes being sneak attacked by a creeper)

    It would be helpful to know if someone is looking in their inventory cause that way you could know why they're just standing there and stuff lol, I usually know because I'm in party chat so I can just ask but still a cute addition. Plus....just gonna throw this out there it should be an optional feature because that might also alert your more trickster like friends when you're distracted and therefore when they can mess w/you easier lol! (which might add a layer of fun itself tbh)

    I have an additional idea for this as well; perhaps it could create an interface like the villager trades where you can just give someone stuff vs toss it at them manually (or loading it in a chest) perhaps even make it an actual trade system! Oooh...you can charge what you want for items and people could take or leave the offer like w/a trader/villager that'd be rad :)

    This would be very useful for multiplayer! It could also be a little 2D chest icon maybe?

    I think this would hinder PVP too much. Your opponent always knowing when you're in your inventory(sorting soups/potions etc) would make you even more vulnerable than you already are doing so.
