This is of course dependant on if the API can tell what the zoom level is.

Unfortunately not...
but it is possible to tell if the user is scrolling their mouse wheel. Unfortunately again, this requires the pointer to be over a Lua-created element that is set to be MouseVisible. That in itself isn't that tough...however if the pointer is over something that is MouseVisible, that means it intercepts
all mouse events, interfering with actually playing the game.
But yes, technically it's possible to kinda wing it, assume that the player is at the default zoom level (i.e. when they zone in) and adjust the size/height appropriately. However, if you start thinking about all the other variables besides zoom - like a camera that changes zoom on its own (due to being too close to something), or the user moving the camera at some other angle - then it's not likely to be even worth it at this point.
But that
would be pretty cool to have access to player and camera position/orientation. I know one project I've been messing with that would definitely improve with that kind of information.
