P: Only import RAW files when RAW+HEIF both exists

Nowadays, more and more camera manufacturers such as Canon and Sony have supported HEIF format photos, and there is no doubt that this format will have wider application in the future.

If I turn on the RAW+HEIF format on the camera, LR will import the same photo repeatedly during processing, which is obviously unnecessary.

In preferences, LR has the option to enable/disable "Treat JPEG files next to raw files as separate photos". Is it possible to add an option to "Treat HEIF files next to raw files as separate photos"?

Note: HEIF photos have multiple extension such as ".heif", ".heic", ".HIF". Check Wikipedia for details.

I am also looking for the same feature. Also, HIF files produced by my Sony A7C II are not rotated correctly. They are all assumed to be horizontal.
