not a silly question
Not breaking the measure tool....
You can place a guide at the end of the measure tool. It is described in the docs
https://docs.gimp.org/en/gimp-tool-measure.html - see: 6.5.3. Key modifiers (Defaults)
examples:
Guides can also be set by percentage or pixel location Image -> Guides Also plugins and scripts to add multiple guides are available.
Consider setting up a grid. Can be on a per-image basis Image -> Configure Grid and made visible in the View Menu.
Guides and Grids only exist inside Gimp. They are saved with a Gimp .xcf image for later use. Export to png, jpeg, etc - gone.
