MONGODB-AWS Auth Feature Request for mongosh & compass connections

I would like to request a feature to more fully integrate the auth mechanism MONGODB-AWS in the Atlas UI. We envision that when you are creating a user based on IAM Auth a toggle button is added in the UI that when enabled on the user or project level, would require a user to provide a session token to authenticate via mongoose. This feature would require the --awsIamSessionToken option when a so defined user connects via mongosh or the token field in Compass (along with the access key and secret access key). Basically, if only username/password were presented, it would fail. The token would also have to be provided for authentication to proceed. That would be awesome. Thank you!
