Describe the solution you'd like
Currently, jobs sometimes as for map/location IDs (think FIPS codes/dam IDs) which is not user friendly as many people don't have these memorized. An example is in the Aging Damn job (https://github.com/I-GUIDE/cybergis-compute-damfiminput-connector/blob/main/manifest.json#L25). It would be much more user friendly and visually appealing to be able to provide a GeoJson or some other data format and allow users to specify that information by clicking on the geographic object.
Using the dam id example:
"dam_id": {
"type": "map_input",
"require": true,
"default_value": "0000",
"mapfile": "https://thisisalink/map.geojson",
"mapIdColumn": "<column in the geojson with the id to use>"
}
Obviously this could be artitrarily complex, but supporting just a base case of only accepting GeoJSON files and getting the value from a specific column when clicked would be very useful. I believe Furqan has implemented something similar in Jupyter notebook and simply passed the parameter into the show_ui function, that could serve as a starting point.
