Snapshots on ChildPool

today you can only create snapshot-policy which makes the snapshots on the same pool the volume is already on.

and in our scenario we are using Child-Pool for snapshots to prevent risks of cyber attacks when snapshots are filling the primery pool and also it's eaiser to see your total size of snapshots

in the Policy today you can't do that so we have to take snapshots by cli and mention the specifc pool which works fine. 

but we want it to be automatic by the gui and not cli script that has to run everyday on all our volumegroups and take snapshots 1 by 1

i think this is pretty simple feature to add since it's already exist in cli but not a function in the gui
