i was challenged by apophis on the vpc discord to see about integrating the high score corner scores with each table - ultimately the easiest way to do this is to associate a table with the vpsid from https://virtual-pinball-spreadsheet.web.app/

i mention all this because if the vpsid were associated then the requested fields would basically be accessible via the vps data. it could be accessed via some api call or whatever (not sure they are there yet) but it would be nice to be able to add fields to the database.

i realize that they are simple xml files but most users are not comfortable with editing xml. if there were a way to "import from csv" that would be a nice step towards importing the additional info to then show in the UI in some way.

@CainArg this is really meant more for @mjrgh - i am just basically giving a "+1" to your suggestion with some reasoning behind why i think it would add value.
