I think this should be a thing, and not only available to the streamer, but to their mods to have the ability as well to do so.
Streamer themselves is tied up in a game, hears/sees something funny in chat, but can't get to the chatbox to input the command of /givepoints [username]/[chat] <amount> to award either a viewer or all of chat the amount of channel points.
If the streamer has a good set of mods, all they need to do is ask the mods to give out channel points as well. If the streamer doesn't want their mods to abuse this, this setting could be turned off in the Channel Points section of Creator Dashboard.
One might even go farther with this, and say any banned users in a streamer's channel should have all of their accumulated points be put into a separate pool for the streamer to then disperse to the rest of chat as they see fit.
