Description

I am really not an expert on this. But it would be a great feature to be able to add external WMS maps as overlay layers on maps.

I guess this relates to https://github.com/ProfessionalWiki/Maps/issues/92

As example, there are many specific maps on the European Open Data Portal in this format and it would be great to be able to use those in maps: https://data.europa.eu/data/datasets?locale=en&minScoring=0&format=WMS_SRVC&page=1

Research direction

Start by reading the related issue #92 and tracing how the extension currently adds map layers. Define the supported external WMS inputs and the overlay behavior before implementation; done means a WMS map can be added and displayed as an overlay using an example from the European Open Data Portal.
