Update border or fill of selected object dynamically when using eyedropper
You've just selected an object (or group of objects) and want to try out different fill and/or border colors, but you want to use the eyedropper tool to pick up colors from your design, or a photo.
Wouldn't it be cool if, as you're hovering the eyedropper, your selection gave you a real-time "clean" preview? By clean I mean without the selection UI around it (the green transparent outline and white handles).
(Originally: "Clean", live update of object as eyedropper is being used to select new Fill/Border color)

@elaine Just a slight clarification:
- Update border or (not and) fill of object; My sense is that it's more common to want to change/set just one (either border or fill) at a time, rather than both at the same time
Also, the essence of this feature for me is about quickly and effortlessly providing a "clean" preview of the object with the new color - That is, the object in question's selection outline and handles would temporarily hide during the dynamic preview. I think without that aspect, the feature would feel somewhat half-assed.
Side note: A great "companion feature" for this would be the keyboard shortcuts to set and remove fill/border (https://adobexd.uservoice.com/forums/353007-adobe-xd-feature-requests/suggestions/17712061-ergonomic-intuitive-flow-friendly-keyboard-short)
Hope that makes some bit of sense :)
