ChunkLoader NBT tag for armor stand

By default, this tag would be set to 0b, but if it's set to 1b (when the armor stand is summoned or using the /data command), then this armor stand will keep the chunk that it is in loaded at all times. This tag could also be available for other entities that can't move by themselves such as area effect clouds or item frames

This would be especially useful for map-makers who need to load certain chunks relative to an entity (rather than keeping only certain chunks loaded with /forceload). Essentially this would be a movable chunk loader.

    or rather than having the full chunk loaded, which might be a little resource heavy, have the entity stay loaded.

    this isnt bad idea because we can then create datapack that have armor stands as chunk loaders

    Rather than being specific to armor stands, how about allowing it to be applied to any entity? Chunk-loading minecarts would be awesome for long-distance item transportation.

    Yas!!! I'm trying to dynamically teleport players between worlds (with arbitrary names) and the thing I'm stuck on is loading an arbitrary chunk to teleport an armor stand to so I can then teleport the player to the armor stand.

    Sidenote: If I was able to directly insert scoreboard values into the tp command or modify the player nbt directly, then I wouldn't need to use armor stands to teleport the player.
