Wanted: information that leads to locating transported units widget

I wonder if there is already somewhere a widget that shows the content of a transporter, either how full it is as %, or the units that are loaded into it. I figured I cannot be the first one to want that functionality.

I have not seen one but it should not be impossible to write an altered version of health bars for it.

S44 has this - when selecting a transport with units, you get their buildpics (grayed out to distinguish from regular selected units) in the bottom of the screen.

1. Transport with some units inside

2. Transport and some regular units, transport holds 10 more units inside

That's very nice. Can you select a transported unit and manipulate it? For example change the order of unloading? Or just unload that unit?
