Example
// To enable this for one tool (The Pan tool, for example), this can be done:
const tool = docViewer.getTool(window.Core.Tools.ToolNames.PAN);
tool.enableImmediateActionOnAnnotationSelection();

// To enable this for all selection tools, this can be done:
const allTools = Object.values(docViewer.getToolModeMap());
for (const tool of allTools) {
  if (tool instanceof Tools.AnnotationSelectTool) {
    tool.enableImmediateActionOnAnnotationSelection();
