custom options could use a sound option

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
The problem is that any alternative is ugly and a bad solution because
a) adding sounds from sharedmedia sources to a dropdown forces you to kinda explain that it requires an addon for it to work which makes everything look ugly
b) can't make the default dropdown hide if you don't have the sharedmedia addon. if it behaved equally to action tab's sound option and you were lacking the sharedmedia addon, then it would be blank and the user looking at your custom options would feel like "oh i have to input something here"
c) the process of adding all sounds to a table so it can be used in a dropdown is soul draining https://i.gyazo.com/9f235c6f1bc7c338680e55374988c9fc.gif

Describe the solution you'd like
a sound option where the sound-path is the value?

Sound is maybe too specific. Would you be happy with a media option, which had a sub option for the kind of media (texture, sound, bar texture, etc), whose value in config was a path?

commented

yeah that sounds even better, assuming the sound sub-option doesn't have to be populated manually.

The idea was to hook into the same LSM widgets which are used in the rest of the addon.

Still very interested in this. Would be willing to bribe with a pizza or something ;)

Any chance this could happen before Shadowlands? I'm very interested in using it for WAs I want to have ready for then.
