storing custom metadata with route

[douglassdavis]

I'm relatively new with Laravel. Maybe this is already a feature, but I've seen others ask with no answer, so I would like to suggest it.

I would like the ability to store custom data (in the form of key/value pairs) along with a route.

For example, say I want to add my own metadata data to this route

Route::get('/themetest', [MyController::class, 'list'])->name('themetest');

I thought I could add a route macro called addMetadata to save metadata to be retrieved later.

Route::get('/themetest', [MyController::class, 'list'])->name('themetest')->addMetadata('title' => 'Page Title');

However, I don't think this is possible (if I'm wrong, let me know).

Is there a standard way to store custom metadata? Or, any practical way? I thought maybe I could store them using default(), but that could change the default parameters for a controller function.

Could this be something that could be added?
