Extending User profile views natively with DataViews

^{Originally posted by flexseth September 1, 2024} Use case: I want to add "armor" to a user profile, to match MMORPG games like World of Warcraft.

Example: Add "equipment" custom post type that has armor class, affects, and also allowing these pieces of armor to be attached to a user profile.

"worn on body" "worn on arms" "worn on legs"

etc..

In an ideal situation, you could search for equipment, and attach it to a user profile via a DataView.

Drag and drop functionality would be highly desirable, but a simple POC works, too.

Has many other use cases!
