Group Input node and selecting / choosing Drop-down List items with geometry nodes

Group Input node and selecting / choosing drop-down list items with Geometry Nodes

I can select different objects using Compare node and Switch node and typing in 0 , 1, 2

to get the selection I want.

See Below:

How can I do the same thing with nodes that have drop-down lists?

Example: I want to add another selection to the Group Input node that allows me to choose / select between point, edge, face, etc... If this is not possible Is there a workaround?

Hi. I was thinking in something similar for some time, but can't find time to create a proposal.

Maybe a fast solution could involve exposing the dropdown with a integer input to select the list index. But them you will be switching stuff in the stack without knowing what that does inside the node tree. We can also have a new "list input" compatible with integer type for selecting the other lists above. A list input in the modifier stack could make third party nodes even more easy to use.

I need to elaborate more and make a real proposal someday. ...
