Add more load options to built in trigger conditions

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Some of the load options, like Zone Name/Zone ID/Mythic+ Affix, are not a built in option for triggers.

Describe the solution you'd like
Add more of the load options to the built in trigger support. Instance Type/Difficulty/Size Type can already be found under Player/Unit Info -> Conditions. Options like Zone Name/Zone ID/Mythic+ Affix and maybe more could be added here too.

Describe alternatives you've considered
It is possible to achieve this functionality already using custom triggers, but having them added as built in trigger options might be relatively simple but still a nice quality of life improvement.

Additional context
Player/Unit Info -> Conditions may not be the right category for these options. The Instance Type/Difficulty/Size Type are found here too, even though these maybe don't totally fit. Perhaps the addition of a new category, named Location or something else, would be appropriate.

What's the use case for this?

For me specifically, this came up because I was working on reminders to take certain talents in specific situations. For example, as a Paladin I would only take the Cleanse Toxins talent in situations where I'd actually encounter poison or diseases to dispel. I'd show the weakaura if either Afflicted is one of the affixes this week, or if the dungeon/zone that I'm in has poison/diseases. I can't use the load conditions in this case, because those force that all conditions must be met, not just one or the other. So currently I have to use custom triggers to check for these conditions. This works fine, but having them added as built-in trigger options, just like some of the other conditions, would be a quality of life improvement.
