Allow modders to create Factoriopedia recipe groups(Like currently-hardcoded fill/empty barrel recipe groups)

In the "barrel" item's Factoriopedia description, there are lists of barreling and unbarreling recipes separate from the "made in" and "alternative recipes" sections generated by default. As far as I can tell, these sections are hardcoded in the engine, and cannot be created by modders for other items. It would be helpful if it was possible to make custom Factoriopedia recipe sections similar to these lists. My first idea on how this could be used is making a kind of "data barrel" that stores different types of data fluids. I'm sure other modders would find uses for this feature.

There appears to be a strange visual bug with all but last buttons in a row. Should be reported if it occurs in vanilla.

+1, especially useful for all of the barreling adjacent categories, like canisters or boxes or crates
