that's something on the list for further development, once the new
LibreOffice extensions and templates site is online.
The add-ons, which the new website will be created on, are open source
and could be enhanced. It will be possible to add new features, but it
needs someone doing that.

Maybe you want to apply for an account on the new LibreOffice extensions
and templates website and give some feedback. That would help to make
the site even more better.

Would be great, if you would take a look at the new test website and
give some feedback.
