Add Pre-Existing Maps to Chronicle

What functionality is missing? What is unsatisfying with the current situation?

There doesn't appear to be a way to add a pre-existing Map to a Chronicle. Instead, it insists I upload a new image for a map (restricted to a single image, too), and start building all those pins over again.   Ideally, it would be as simple as taking an existing Historical Entry from a Timeline, connecting it to an existing Map Pin, and having that connection shown in a Chronicle.   As it is, the Chronicles feature seem largely oblivious to the information that it should know about.  

How does this feature request address the current situation?

I imagine there are many people like me, who poured their heart and soul into their maps and timelines. Allowing us to connect those maps to Chronicles would mean we don't have to start all over again.    

What are other uses for this feature request?

This would go a long way toward having different parts of World Anvil support each other, as opposed to being distinct silos of information that don't communicate.
