Description

#### Issue details

I am wondering:
1) How can I add an additional column in waypoint data? Essentially I want to add a mode within the waypoint to manage a specific state so that my Copter or Rover can change cameras (or something) based on the current waypoint. This is the simplest reason why I want to add another column, such that my Copter will execute a function after reaching a waypoint.
2) Where in the mission planner software I can add such changes, including to add this column of data in the exported WP file?

Research direction

The issue names Mission Planner, waypoint data, and exported WP files but no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the waypoint import/export and mission-handling areas, then determine how an additional waypoint field would be represented for Copter and Rover and how completion would be verified.
