As one of the two people who were in that discussion, there are two important
points that I believe need to be made.

First is, that LibreOffice must make it fully possible for extensions to offer
such functionality; and it seems, from Walter's last comment, that this is not
the case. It should also be possible to introduce functionality without having
to play catch with existing dialogs, and have to implement a whole lot,
yourself; extension authors need to be able to piggy-back over what's already
available.

The second point is the extent of interest in such functionality. This is
always difficult to tell looking at a single bug. But - something I did not do
before hesitantly agreeing with the closure is look at the bug of which this is
now marked as a dupe. But then - Walter, you haven't done that either.

Regis Pedrau has also commented, on the design mailing list, that
