Extend the SharePoint Document Locations view

Hello Power Pages Community,

I hope that someone here will have an answer on the issue that I'm facing. I made a Power Page and turned on the SharePoint Integration to display SharePoint documents on my site. This all works great so far but I want to be able to customize the document view a bit. I have some metadata columns attached to the SharePoint list that I would like to show as columns in the document view. For as far as I know I can only use the "Active Document Locations" view and that one will only show the document name and modify date. Is it possible to extend this view with other columns or are there some workarounds that will make it possible to achieve the same result for the portal visitor.

Thanks in advance.

It seems that it is not possible so I created a workaround to get the desired result. I made a custom table in Dataverse and Power Automate flow that synchronizes all the metadata from sharepoint to Dataverse. In my web page I load two tables. The document table (SharePoint Integration) and the custom table. The view of the custom table is hidden by default. With some javascript I match rows from table 1 and table 2. When I have a match I add the meta-data value as columns to the first table.

It all works fine and the site visitor will see the same result, but it would be great if we can just add columns to the document view. That will save a lot of work and is a more robust solution.
