Interaction Entity - Run Command

Currently it is possible to run commands as a player who clicks an interaction entity, but there is no convenient way to run them as the entity itself. It would be great if interaction entities also had a field where you can input a command for them to run upon being attacked or interacted with, similarly to how signs can store commands to run when clicked. In terms of implementation, the command would probably just be stored in NBT as opposed to there being a special field for it in the summon command itself.

    yes we absolutely need this, way easier than using repeat command blocks all the time (as using many of them lowers the game performance since they'd all check per tick on the interaction entities).
    what i'd add though is that this idea of yours works only if the response is set to true (1b), otherwise the command field would be ignored even if filled.
    so {response:1b, run_command:"execute as @e[type=interaction] on target run give @s diamond 1"} would work (first it'd capture the interactor then execute the command) but {response:0b, run_command:"execute as @e[type=interaction] on target run give @s diamond 1} wouldn't do anything as response is set to false (0b), thus the "run_command" field wouldnt run
