Hi - I'm not sure if this is a bug, feature request, or support request because I just don't understand how to set it up.

What I'm trying to accomplish: allow a user to set the focal point in the edit form on an image field in an entity (e.g. Article) that's a Media (Image) Reference using Media Library and not a "traditional" image upload field.

The problem: the Image (Focal Point) widget is available only on the Media entity, not on the Article entity. For the field in the Article, we need to use Media Library as the widget in the "manage form display" setting. So a user would have to edit the Media entity itself for that image to be able to set the focal point; it can't be done directly in the node edit form for that field in the Article content type.

I can set the widget of the Media Library form display of the Media/Image entity to use Focal Point, but the Focal Point cursor doesn't show up when choosing an image on the Article edit form using Media Library.

Is that last point supposed to be the solution and there's just a bug with that? Or am I setting this up improperly?

Thanks in advance.
