In Cutter[1][2] we have an idea to implement the same feature[3] as a plugin, but our priorities lie elsewhere due to the lack of enough hands. Contributions are welcome.

Stupid question, but why did radare fork and become rizin? Are both relatively similar development wise or massively divergent at this point?

I ask because I wrote a load of shit years ago that relies heavily on radare, various scripts etc

See our FAQ[1] on why we forked. As three years passed and both projects are actively developed, the divergence has grown a lot since. We aim for exposing the proper API instead of relying just commands, see e.g. our new Python bindings and rz-bindgen[2]. We have completely different concept of projects, new intermediate language - RzIL[3], and many other things. And under the new organization Cutter is a first-class citizen, not an afterthought as before.
