Description

Hello, instead of

{{#display_map:Brandenburg Gate Berlin}}

I'd like to be able to pass on its Google place ID, e.g.

{{#display_map:ChIJiQnyVcZRqEcRY0xnhE77uyY}}

Is this possible?

(It's only about displaying on Google Maps, not on Leaflet.)

Research direction

Start by tracing how the display_map parser handles the Google Maps form of {{#display_map:...}}, keeping the requested Google place ID example in view. Check the Google Maps display path rather than the Leaflet path, and confirm completion by verifying that the supplied place ID displays the intended location.
