How to handle records of different "type" and different fields depending on the type?

Hey! I have a simple model called "Visual". It has the fields

name

name

(string),

type

type

(enum) and

settings

settings

(json). In a CMS the record should represent any type of visual objects like an image, a slider, a video, a chart, a pdf, whatever.. Each type has completely different fields which should be stored into

settings

settings

column. So for example image just have a FileUpload. A slider has multiple FileUploads, a chart may have just a Codefield to insert a iframe-code or whatever...
How can I use different fields depending on the selected type in the Select for "type"?

To may make it little bit more challenging (for me): For each of those visual types we have packages to only install only the types we need for the website. The packages register them self in a VisualTypeRegistry. A VisualType object has a

getKey() ``getLabel()

getKey() ``getLabel()

and

getSchema()

getSchema()

function. Building the type Select works well depending on the key and the label. But now I don't know how to tell filament to use the getSchema() for the selected type.
