Custom Draw Control with Custom Layer Type (Extending Existing Layer)

[nikitabiichuk2009]

Hi! 👋

I'd like to add a custom drawing control in Leaflet-Geoman that behaves exactly like the Marker tool (same UI and drawing behavior), but instead of creating a regular L.Marker, I want it to create a custom extended class, like L.NewMarkerCustom, so I can later treat it differently.

What I've tried:

map.pm.Toolbar.copyDrawControl('Marker', {
  name: 'NewMarkerCustom',
  block: 'draw',
  title: 'Place NewMarkerCustom',
  className: 'leaflet-pm-icon-newmarkercustom',
});

Then listening to pm:create and manually replacing:

map.on('pm:create', (e) => {
  if (e.shape === 'NewMarkerCustom') {
    const latlng = e.layer.getLatLng();
    map.removeLayer(e.layer);
    // add new marker to the map or do some custom stuff
  }
});

This works, but feels like a workaround.

💡 Feature Request / Question:

Is there a cleaner way to register a new shape type (like NewMarkerCustom) that:

1. Uses the same interaction as Marker
2. But creates a custom extended class like L.NewMarkerCustom
3. Without manually removing & replacing layers on pm:create

Would this be possible now or planned for the future?

Thanks for the awesome tool and your time! 🙌

Actually I have thought this maybe would be even more complicated and redundant current approach is fine
