Add asset type Blog post as a type of Publication
We need an asset type Blog post to appear under Publications. These are not entire blogs. These are not interactive resources. They are a type of publication. We currently use asset type Other with a subtype Blog Post, but this means the items are not integrated with other publications on a researcher's profile.
We had hoped to deal with this through a 2023 roadmap item "Local Management of Asset Types and Categories" but it appears this will not be happening.
Note also a request for an image asset type - https://ideas.exlibrisgroup.com/forums/929326-esploro/suggestions/47430887-image-asset-type

An "Other" under publications would help (example) https://iro.uiowa.edu/esploro/outputs/9983557326202771 but we would also need to have the resource sub-type display more prominently. It is buried in the details section. It is not available as a facet. It does not display in the brief view. It has not impact on the broad resource type at the very top (to the left of open access). We need more information displayed prominently both in the research portal and on profiles.
