[Feature Request] Poll add-on to messages

In my server, we have a poll channel where we use reacts to make polls. While it does work, it has a few drawbacks that limit what we can do with it as well as enforcing certain things.

I'd like to suggest a special message add-on: "Poll". Basically, one or multiple of them can be attached to a message, and can be used for gathering opinions and making decisions (and everything else a poll can do).

Features:

Poll question field (optional, since it could be tacked onto a message that asks the question).
Option fields (with a setting to make them either single or multi-select, or even "max selection of n options" as sometimes I find myself making polls with a maximum of n options. Perhaps even more types of fields, like a number slider).
Toggle visibility of who voted for what (currently, since we use reacts people can see who reacted to each option. By allowing anonymity we can ask more types of questions that otherwise would've been influenced by people not wanting to vote a certain option lest they be attached to that option).
The message itself can still be reacted to, as a separate thing.
The poll would appear at the bottom of the message.
Maybe even a prediction feature that allows the poster to set a "correct" answer whenever they want?
An optional timer to stop people from voting after a certain time.
Possibly a weighted system where people with certain roles will have their votes count for more?
Anything else that you could think of.
