Feature Request: Make tracks loadable via context menu even with wrong deck flavour

Usually you can load a track into a deck from Track Collection or a playlist with context menu (right click on the track) by selecting "Load Into Track Deck A/B/C/D". But this only works with Tracks (not Stems) into Track Decks or with (external created) Stems into Stem Decks. But there is one exception: Stems created in Traktor itself which are linked to the track file. These can be loaded to any Track Deck or Stem Deck as track or stem no matter which flavour the deck currently has. Of course you can load any file to any deck by drag and drop which works not so well with a trackpad on a notebook.

My request is now to enhance the context menus to offer loading Tracks into Stem Decks and (external created unlinked) Stems into Track Decks.

For the following example screenshots Decks A and C are Stem Decks, Deck B is a Track Deck and Deck D is a Remix Deck.

File is a Stem File and can only load into Stem Decks A and C not into Track Deck B. Desired behaviour: Load into Track Deck B is offered and loading switches Deck Flavour to Stem Deck. As it would happen if I drag the file to Deck B.

This file is a normal Track File and can only load into Track Deck B not into Stem Decks A and C. Desired behaviour: Load into Stem Deck A and Load into Stem Deck C are offered and loading switches Deck Flavour to Track Deck. As it would happen if I drag the file to Deck A or C.

Finally this is a Stem created within Traktor Pro. Can be loaded into any Track Deck or Stem Deck either as Track or Stem. If flavour doesn't match it switches accordingly upon loading the file.

I hope my request is clear and I hope it can be forwarded to the right people at NI. If realised it would make my life easier. :-)
