Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

The list of field types supported by the Front Matter editor should IMHO be the same as those supported by Data files. For example, I think image and block and contentRelationship fields are equally useful in Data files.

Describe the solution you'd like

I'm recommending you consider replacing the JSON schema editor used to create Data file records with the same editor used to edit Front Matter YAML. So the properties in frontMatter.data.files just become fields.
