Description
Is there an existing issue for the same feature request?
- I have checked the existing issues.
Is your feature request related to a problem?
RAPTOR is great, but I think beeing able to implement custom chunking and retrieval functions would really push this project to be a one of a kind for RAG apps.
Describe the feature you'd like
A button on the KB config to load a custom chunking / embedding function.
Describe implementation you've considered
Documentation, adoption, use case
Users could implement and share other custom retrieval methods. Custom retrieval methods would allow users to fully customize their KB and enable their data to be used to the fullest.

The issue names no files or tests; start by locating the knowledge-base configuration flow and the existing RAPTOR chunking, embedding, and retrieval entry points. Define what extension boundary and configuration behavior would be needed, with completion meaning users can load custom chunking and retrieval methods for a knowledge base.
