One can draw wakes in the parameter plane of the Mandelbrot set, by tracing external rays inwards from near $\infty$ (with Newton's method or other algorithm) to get polygonal outlines which can be filled. But reading the following paper I think there should be a way to plot them implicitly, starting from each pixel's $c$ coordinate to a binary classification:
Definition. Let $O = \{z_1, \ldots, z_p\}$ be a periodic orbit for $f$ . Suppose that there is some rational angle $t \in \mathbb{Q}/\mathbb{Z}$ so that the dynamic ray $R^{K(f)}_t$ lands at a point of $O$. Then for each $z_i \in O$ the collection $A_i$ consisting of all angles of dynamic rays which land at the point $z_i$ is a finite and non-vacuous subset of $\mathbb{Q}/\mathbb{Z}$. The collection $\{A_1, \ldots, A_p \}$ will be called the orbit portrait $P = P(O)$.
Theorem 1.2. The Wake $W_P$. The two corresponding parameter rays $R^M_{t\pm}$ land at a single point $r_P$ of the parameter plane. These rays, together with their landing point, cut the plane into two open subsets $W_P$ and $\mathbb{C} - W_P$ with the following property: A quadratic map $f_c(z) = z^2 + c$ has a repelling orbit with portrait $P$ if and only if $c \in W_P$, and has a parabolic orbit with portrait $P$ if and only if $c = r_P$.

However, I haven't yet deciphered if the paper provides a constructive algorithm for checking, or if it is just an existence proof.
Question: given an orbit portrait $P$, provide a constructive algorithm to determine if a point $c \in \mathbb{C}$ is in the wake $W_P$.
