Snapping Options: Snap to Bone

The Snapping Option should Separate Snapping to bone and Snap to Vertex, as bone are usually inside a bunch of vertices, I believe having a option to snap to only bones is a good thing.

extra: would be nice if can have the option to snap to object too, (Object's Pivot Point)

IMHO it could be even better to have the vertex snapping working together with the object types selectability

So that when you disable mesh selectability, you can't snap on mesh as well. Makes sence to me, and I think it would be a better way to obtain what you want rather than creating even more snap options for each object type (if we make a different snap for bones, someone will ask another for empties, then for lamps, etc). {attachment 2021-05-17_11h50min26sjpg}

* @-L0Lock- * Empties and Lamps are Object, while is possible, its not very likely your scene have so much objects that you need a filter

Just to be clear, I am not against your proposal, I just think there's an even better approach that suits both you and a wider range of users.

Empties and Lamps are Object

I don't see your point here. The current "vertex snapping" snaps to vertices as well as objects and sub-objects' origin.

while is possible, its not very likely your scene have so much objects that you need a filter

Only if you are workin on one asset at a time, which is far from being the only thing done on Blender. I.E. any scene building has a lot of objects.
Just to give my little example, I often do scene building where it's like one or two characters and low detail scenery like a few walls and props. This can already result in a hundred of mesh objects, dozens of lights objects, dozens of empties to control groups of objects, ... And this is for a simple scene where it's basically just two characters talking with a poor background out of focus. Imagine what it is for an actual heavy scene, like for archiviz or movies.
