Biblatex supports "Non-standard Types" entry types.

• See page 14 of https://de.mirrors.cicku.me/ctan/macros/latex/contrib/biblatex/doc/biblatex.pdf).
• Also accessible via https://ctan.org/pkg/biblatex

Is your suggestion for improvement related to a problem? Please describe.
My problem is that I am sometimes confused what entry type I should pick in the entry-editor for example for video or image. Reading through the biblatex documentation, I found that "Non-standard Types" are mapped to the "misc" entry type, but to me "misc" is only a fall-back, if nothing else fits, so I am searching and searching for the correct type and cannot find and will finally settle on misc, but that time searching could be diminished by having the "Non-standard Types" available. I think having to cite a video or image or audio is not really something extraordinary in the year 2025.

In short: Non-standard Types are a time-saver.
