Rendition selection as URL parameter
As a Solution Architect, I see how a lot of customers and prospects select assets from the DAM and it's a common use case to select a main image for a page and then want different renditions for things like page listings and teasers to that page. Currently the author would have to select a series of renditions manually. It would be much easier to be able to add the rendition name to the URL like this: https://images.cmp.optimizely.com/assets/rob?rendition=teaser
This idea has caught our attention and is now being reviewed by our product and design teams. We're assessing what’s possible, mapping out user journeys, and considering how this could fit into the overall experience. More updates to come as we explore solutions.

I ended up writing a Image TagHelper to get the rendition by calling GetAssetMetadata via the IDAMAssetMetadataService

Other DAM systems supports this. Feature would solve for a more flexible frontend implementation where you could pick different renditions based on device or screen resolution.
