Probably I have misunderstood the request, but in qgit you can (from about one month ago) mouse select some lines in file content then press the filter button and see only the revisions that modify the selected text.

Also selected text is highlighted so to better view differences among revisions.

It is not clear to me in what the requested feature differs from this implementation.
