Description
Feature request:
The Austrian Basemap now supports Mapbox 2.0 format:
https://www.data.gv.at/2019/06/25/basemap-at-vektor-tile-cache/
Vector tiles have advantages regarding size of data transported and are probably the future of mapping services.
Maps extension therefore should support this (as soon as it is avialable in leaflet or openlayers).
https://docs.mapbox.com/vector-tiles/specification/
AFAIK there are some first plugins:
https://github.com/SpatialServer/Leaflet.MapboxVectorTile
https://openmaptiles.org/docs/website/leaflet/
https://openlayers.org/en/master/examples/mapbox-vector-tiles.html

Research direction
Start by reviewing the Mapbox Vector Tile specification and the linked Leaflet and OpenLayers examples. Then inspect the Maps extension's map-rendering integration to determine which approach fits; done should mean the extension supports displaying vector-tile map sources.
