Allow us to view obscured items

I've dropped a shield behind a smelter.
I can't get to it now because right clicking where it is triggers the smelter.

I've noticed similar things happening with buckets in the water and lost some straw that harvested to the ground behind some tall but not yet grown crops.

It'll also be handy to be able to target people hiding behind buildings. Though I do appreciate the ability to hide and it'd be nice to have some kind of very limited stealth skill, designed for avoiding (not for backstabbing )

Transperancy on hovering has been discussed to solve this problem.
Another solution that has been considered is if you hover over an object that is
behind a larger one, the outlines of that object will be shown on top.
