Interactivity in Rise Custom Blocks

While understanding that interactivity in custom rise blocks is still in development or at least in discussion, I would like to suggest some features that may or not may not be in the planning.

1) Custom built slides, that function similar to an image carousel.
Currently I build these in Photoshop or Illustrator and the whole process is very time consuming (e.g. develop, resize, save, upload). Also placing content text into images is not best practice (of course there exceptions). It would also make custom slides so much easier to edit (rather than editing in PS or Ill, saving and uploading etc.)

2) The ability to have learners click an object which opens another.
This would be similar to layers in Storyline. Creating custom popups would allow for a far more interesting and engaging learner experience than something like a Hotspot interaction.

3) Built in voice overs / text to speech.
However, this would need to be done well and on par with services such as ElevenLabs.
By this I mean that voices will need to be natural sounding while providing an exhaustive array of accents. The system would also need to prioritise plenty of features to punctuate and provide realistic annunciation. (As a note, with ElevenLabs, sometimes you can even hear breaths). Adding voice overs / text to speech in features such as those listed in points 1 and 2 above would further enhance Rise's popularity and increase business potential. Having this feature built into Rise would be a game changer for Articulate.

I'm sure I will have more but these would be a good start.
Happy to elaborate if required.
