Sounds reasonable.

On this site I saw Google released a codec pack for WebP:
https://codecpack.co/download/WebP-Codec-for-Windows.html
Maybe one possible solution is to add an entry to access WebP via calling codec pack if available, and we are also able to access other formats such as HEIF.

According to discussion in bug 114533 this is WONTFIX.  Also bug 114532 is about the same enhancement request.

If for MSO compatibility reason the WONTFIX decision needs to be reconsidered, I think we should continue the discussion in bug 114532 or 114533.
