That's not a feasible thing to offer, since it's unclear how such a
thing would look like, or benefit existing users of choose-list. Making
it generic is just not useful.
AFAIAC, this is such a minor thing, that if those few people who really
are using it are this affected, then they can email me personally and I
will help them script equivalent functionality using some external
process and tmux.
I can't really say fairer than that; but this functionality is not
coming back natively to tmux, thankfully.
