Support true zoom levels in authoring window

It would be very useful for the editor to support true zoom levels.
We have about 35k printed pages of DITA content. All of the images and tables in the content have their dimensions specified in inches. When I zoom in and out using Ctrl + and Ctrl -, the text zooms in and out but not the other content.
Our writers work with a variety of display devices, from undocked laptops with limited resolution displays to multiple 4k monitors at desktop workstations. In addition, they use a variety of WIndows 10 desktop scaling settings (100%, 125%, 150%, etc.) based on their own personal preference.
Another factor is ongoing maintenance of CSS files. We would like to share the same CSS files for both print and authoring, but we cannot do this because the print files use 'pt' units and the authoring files must use 'em' units (or the font size will not change).
Given all this, there is a very real need for true visual scaling in the authoring view.
