Could you build this?
Partial A visual layout editor and ImGui code export are achievable with AI help. The hard parts are live in-process editing of a running C++ app and an exact round-trip between the visual model and source code.
What it would actually take: The stack is a C++ library that hooks into the host application's ImGui context, plus a serialization format and a code generator that round-trips. It requires C++ tooling, ImGui internals knowledge, and careful handling of identifiers and bindings to real variables.
