Oops, I misunderstood. What you want, if I am not mistaken, is already supported. Have you tried the "Plot Data" filter? It allows you to plot cell data or point data directly. If you want a subset of points from your original mesh, they try subsetting before applying the Plot Data filter using something like clip or threshold.
