Description

I've run into a scenario where I have to use the "hidden input" colour picker, and thought it would be extremely handy to be able to have the input within the actual panel that pops up when you click the input.

This way the user could still select an exact value if they had one in mind, or at least know the value of the colour they've chosen.

Thanks!

Research direction
Review the source code in jquery.minicolors.js to understand how the hidden input mode and the color picker panel are implemented. Look for the logic that toggles the panel and consider adding an optional input field inside the panel. Check if there is any existing discussion in the issue tracker about this feature. Since the issue is old, it's advisable to comment on the issue to confirm maintainer interest before proceeding.
