Given that this button is not directly exposed in the toolbar, for people that would arrive directly to this section, let's add where to find it

What is meant by "pick", here? Catch? How? @nirvn

Do we need the advanced digitizing panel, here? I find the two other elements enough complementary, and we would avoid adding "unnecessary" elements that may look outdated in a few releases, e.g. because of new tools/options in GUI.
But if we do, can it be placed on the left of the circles, to get a more landscaped image and less blank part in a higher image, in docs? Thanks.

Not willing to nitpick but can you add the dialog with more buttons enabled. The perpendicular and parallel buttons should at least be clearly identifiable.

This should be |circlesintersection|, given the filename. Or we rename the icon in code repo for consistency with others...
