Customize Media and Playlist Pages

We need the ability to create custom pages for each media file, and each playlist. Currently, there is only a small description/overview text area which does not allow us to create proper text/readable lessons (with the ability for long form content, screen shots, etc) to accompany each video lesson or playlist. I realize with Hubs we can create individual pages, but this is NOT a sufficient solution for a variety of reasons: - if a user finds themselves clicking on a media file or playlist directly anywhere in the platform they will be taken to the default media/playlist page and be lost from the content that is meant to accompany the video. - creating a Hub page for a media file or playlist removes the best part of searchie - the UX on those default pages (huge full screen media player, playlist like chapters along the right, etc etc). And we have no way of recreating the UX with the current page editor. - the page navigation and linking will get very challenging and convoluted. Especially when clicking through a playlist and not having the accompanying content for each media file. - Again if I ever use a grid section to show a playlist with progress etc (one of the best searchie features) and a user clicks on it, there is no way for me to take them to the page I created for that playlist. So they will lose all of the lesson content that accompanies the playlist. - the answer should not be... you can create a PDF attachment. I do not want my lessons (my IP) to be a downloadable PDF, and also, I don't want my users to have to open a PDF in order to access the learning associated with the video lesson. This is a huge issue. And when bringing it up with support I've been told it is not even on the roadmap. In order to rival course platforms, and in order to make Searchie truly accessible to all learning types, this MUST be resolved.
