Feature Request: Custom Matching / Measuring Overpass Turbo question #194

Description

@MoellJ

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I already like the "Custom Measuring question" and "Custom Points question". Instead of compiling a list of coordinates or manually adding the locations to the map in a stressful situation, I'd like to be able to create a question, paste in an Overpass Turbo query and just have it work similar to existing question types.

For us this would be useful for something like nwr[leisure=park][name] to better work with our local data or a new custom question like nwr[leisure=pitch][sport=skateboard].

Describe the solution you'd like

Option 1:

Underneath the Use presets button have a Custom Overpass query field (and a little search icon next to it.) When filled (and search is clicked) the question performs the Overpass query and only uses those locations.
(Instead of a textfield, it could also be a "Past Overpass query" button and a greyed-out text of the pasted query)

Option 2:

In the "New Custom Question" 'wizard' that appears when switching the type to custom, there could be another button or field with the functionality described above.

Option 3

Add a new question type with the functionality described above to avoid confusing less tech-savy users. Then there would be "Custom Measuring question" and "Custom Overpass query Measuring question" (or something like that)

Describe alternatives you've considered
Running all relevant queries beforehand and preparing a list of coordinates

Additional context
I'd be interested in working on this, once we come up with a good design
