I think this tool uses the “reference layer” feature in Clip studio.

The equivalent feature in Krita is the ability to filter by “color labled” layers.

Perhaps that could be a feature to add to the colorize mask too someday?

I still think it would be cool to have a “closed gap” detection function added to the bucket tool and even the selection wand and similar color selection tool someday.

If it ever has a real time preview/colorization like this I would use the colorize mask more
