Element: Advanced Tabs

Louis Reingold is there any way to have Tabs to be dynamically created from from a Taxonomy? So let say I'd like to have a restaurant menu or beauty salon pricing in Tabs.
For now (I'm considering switching to Breakdance and Meta Box) I use Elementor and JetEngine, and it's very time consuming to do it:
- Create single item (dish) archive template
- Create archive template using Listing Grid and pick which CPTs have to be loaded based on a custom Taxonomy
- So if I have 10 categories, I have to create 10 templates...
- Then I have to go to Elementor Editor, manually add 10 Tabs, and assign a template for each tab
The issue here is:
- It's timing consuming and resource intensive
- It's not client friendly - If a client decides to add or remove a category, he needs to go into Elementor Editor, which is not advisable
What I wish was possible (for example in Breakdance Tabs widget)
- Create single item (dish archive template)
- Create archive template using loop builder
- Use Tabs widget and have option either to add next Tab manually OR to be added automatically / dynamically based on chosen CPT/Taxonomies, so ass you add/remove corresponding taxonomies, tabs are added/removed
Two extra features:
- Ability to override base template for a particular taxonomy
- Lazy loading for every next taxonomy/tab (loading automatically in the background)
I have the feeling that none Page Builder or Addon has give enough thought to Tabs and underestimate their potential. My proposed solution could also be used to build stores (you could have tabs in slider if there are many categories).
Obviously, it order for this to work, it would have to be somehow created with one of/ all dynamic data providers( Croco, Meta box, ACF).
Thanks,
Dominik
