Use elevation for Y value in Planar mosaic world file.

It would be very useful if the elevation was used for the Y value in Planar mosaic world files.

These are excavation profiles in Global Mapper:

This feature was actually in earlier versions of Photoscan. Here is a link to  a Photoscan project file from 2017 that contains a planar ortho with local coordinates.

https://digital-mapping.net/metashape/Photoscan_2017_ortho_with_local_coordinates.zip

When you view the ortho in Metashape, you can see the local coordinates for the planar profile displayed in the bottom right corner of the program window.
If you export the planar ortho with a world file, the world file also contain the local coordinates for the planar projection.
