[Improvement]: Path formatter for many-to-one relation when using inline search as display mode

[limenet]

For many-to-one relations in objects, a formatter service (implementing \Pimcore\Model\DataObject\ClassDefinition\PathFormatterInterface) can be specified which is used to format the displayed path. With Pimcore 11, the display type can be changed from "Display path reference" to "Inline search". This feature is very helpful to create dropdown-like relations.

The formatting of the path is done via a GET to /admin/element/get-nice-path. This route is called for both "display path reference" (aka grid) and "inline search" (aka combo) and hence a formatted path is returned for both display modes.

In the case of combo, however, the formatted path not used in pimcore.object.tags.manyToOneRelation.requestNicePathData.

Are there any plans to add support and/or is a pull request welcome? And is there a reason this was implemented like this in the first place?
