Implement: Assign Shorcut & Add to Quick Favorites Operators to Pose Assets

Pose Assets are faster! But wouldn't it be great to have them even flashier (for specific Poses)?

Long-story short (image): PoseAssetsShortcuts.png Please, note that the "Asset Shelf" Context Menu in the image was poped-up because I RMB-Clicked ONE of the Poses Assets in the Asset Shelf Region. So, a new Shortcut could be made to recall THAT particular Pose Asset; however, thinking more deeply, there should also be a possibility to recall an entire List/Collection of 'Assigned'/'Added' Pose Assets (I imagineg, for this List case, something like the Selections Sets system for the time being; but there might be better solutions?).

I was hoping to Custom-Keymap them in the UI... but then I've realised, neither a Pose Asset, nor a Custom 'Collection' or List of Pose Assets, is currently avaible to have Shortcuts!!😿

This could be considered not of any priority, or perhaps niched... But that kind of perception would be a serious misconception of the potential 3D Animation experience still possess nowadays, and how it could largely improve by making sensible structural retouches (some much easier to implement than others naturally) that are not frozen in "status quo" understanding of what good tools for 3D Animation should actually be like. Personally, I come from a 2D Traditional Animation, Flipbook and Pixilation [Stop Motion 'with people'] backgrounds; and maybe because of that I have a radical recognition, whenever addressing 3D Animation Technique in CG softwares, if it is corresponding to a more or less "organic" approach, or if it is something spontaneous and intuitive, or just restritcted to being too analytic.

Video essay for a bit of contextualization (just 5min):

Also, I suggest in the video some (possible) parallel UI implementations here and there (in other Regions or Editors), which would be directly related to the feature, and that might be necessary --or at least it would be worth thinking about them (e.g., the whole, integrated Selection Sets feature is an interesting element here to take into account for comparison with Pose Assets system, and hence that UI pattern might be useful in the case of Keymaning Pose Asset(s)).

And certainly, if Adding to Quick Favorites, and Assigning Shorctut, must also have their counterparts, like "Remove", "Change", etc. Just to mention.

Thanks!
