I think most of us want jog while paused, while I don't' have a need to change a tool, re-probe and resume cutting in a jog while paused situation I can understand why someone would want it. I think we should start with the basics, spindle stop and restart, ability to move axis or axis's of your choice and return to the part at the point of the feed hold call or pause. There will always be some aspect of this that makes the operator responsible to give the tool a clear path back to the point of the pause. The control can not think this through for you. In other words, Feed hold, retract tool manually to a position that will have a clear return to the stop point. Have the ability to stop the spindle and restart to the same constant surface setting you paused at(lathe) and return to cutting conditions you paused at.
