"Look at all those people waiting in line."

"Look at all those people waiting in line."

Here in this sentence, do you think "waiting in line" modifies "those people" or it functions as a an object complement like in "I saw you waiting in line" Or either one is possible and there is a meaning difference and a different context between them? What do you native English speakers think? Thank you so much as usual.

Thank you so much and if it functions as an object complement like "see you coming", do you think there is a meaning difference between them in this case? I think there is not much. What do you think? Thank you so much as usual and have a good day.
