Description
Hello,
I'm not sure if anyone have encountered this. If I want to use the chain provider with Mapbox and Google Maps provider to do reverse geocode, I can't specify location_type data attributes with the query because it will mean differently to each provider (ie. valid location_type for Mapbox is poi, place, locality etc. but for Google Maps valid values were eg. ROOFTOP, RANGE_INTERPOLATED etc.
We can call each provider individually to work around this, but I'm wondering if there's built-in handler within the chain provider itself?
Thanks!

Research direction
Start by locating the chain provider’s reverse-geocoding option handling and comparing it with the Mapbox and Google Maps provider behavior. Clarify whether provider-specific location_type values should be filtered, translated, or passed separately; done requires an agreed behavior for mixed-provider queries and corresponding coverage.
