Description

The import of trajectory files only handles the columns 'id', 'frame', 'x', 'y'.

I suggest including further (optional) columns:
'z', 'markerID' and maybe also 'time'

This should be handled at least in the functions <load_trajectory_data_from_txt> and in the data class .

Research direction

Start with load_trajectory_data_from_txt and the TrajectoryData data class, tracing how the existing id, frame, x, and y columns are parsed and stored. Done means optional z and markerID columns are handled consistently; clarify whether time is in scope before implementing it.
