Pass req to all local API operations?

[fabianbru]

As described in the documentation about the local API for "Auth Operations" it is possible to pass a req express object into the local API call, that will be forwarded to all hooks. The documentation about the CRUD operations is missing this option, but for some of the operations it is also possible to pass in a req object.

The "create" operation offers to pass in a req object:

    await payload.create({
      collection: 'users',
      data: {
        ...
      },
      req: customReq // passing custom req to all hooks is working ✅
    })

Unluckily this is only possible for "create", "find", "findVersionByID" or "findById", but not for "delete", "findVersions", "restoreVersion" or "update", e.g.:

    await payload.update({
      collection: 'users',
      id: ...
      data: {
        ...
      },
      req: customReq // NOT ALLOWED and non functional ❌
    })

Looking at the source, for e.g. "update" there is no req property like in "create".

Is this intended, that only read operations are allowed to pass in a req object, or is this possible a misalignment that can be fixed to allow all operations to pass a req object?

I don't think there is a reason for this. If somebody was looking to make a contribution this would make a good PR.
