This sounds interesting to me. Do you happen to have any screenshots / designs / mocks that you can share? That might help determine if it could be incorporated into SQL Lab, or be a new App/page within Superset.
(Note that images often get removed from the apache list serve, so perhaps a link would be best; alternatively you could open a Superset Issue / request for comments (we've been calling these "SIP"s for Superset Improvement Proposals) and we could have the discussion there/or at least reference images there.
