So you have to use the mouse?  That's a pretty severe limitation and
would make that (as a general design) pretty useless.

But we could have it as an option, I guess.

So if we have a fold-text.el library, it could offer

* fringes
* buttons
  * svg
  * emojis
  * other random text
* "..."

or a combination of these, and then have some kind of fall-back system
(i.e., if you want fringes but they aren't switched on, then fall-back
to button), or something (that the user can specify).

(And similarly, fall back from svg to the other things when that's no
available.)
