Capability to retrieve SOP instance UID with simple way

This is re-escalation of UV ALM 6327 that was escalated back in 2016. Most of UV sites in Japan have been waiting for this feature, but it's not implemented yet.

Our competitors, Infinite and Sai viewer committed to implement this feature, we, GE are in a difficult position to sell UV because of this missing capability.

Scenario:

As a Radiologist, I want to create a report with screenshots & SOP instance UID information of specific images that I detected abnormalities, so that Clinitican can start viewing from specific images, not from first image of the sudy.

Implementation example:

We can retrieve Study Instance UID (ACTIVE_STUDY_UID) of active study by LineShaft now, so if UV can extend LineShaft to retrieve SOP instance UID of the image that is displaed in active viewport, we can make this solution happen.

Other:

We don't request the image level launch capability by UV at this point since it requires bunch of effort. What we request here is, UV to implement the capability to retrieve SOP instance UID with simple way. With this capability, we can continue selling UV as Rad viewer and we propose other viewers for Clinical viewer . Of course, if UV can support image level launch, that is perfect.

Japan sites use proprietary report system and they don't use CPACS report at all.
