Lecterns get hopper and dispenser functionality

It would be cool to see books in lecterns being able to be picked up with hoppers, and dispensed on it with dispensers. To me, this seemed only logical to already be in the game, but when I tried it because I had a cool idea with it, it didn't work. I think this would be a cool small feature that would allow for more redstone contraptions using the lectern.

    This would be amazing for selection menus/submenus.
    You could make a storage system where you flip to a page with the category of item you want, then press a button to lock in your selection. It would read the selection, pick up the current book, and place a new one with the category you chose. You could then choose the item you wanted from that category, and it would be locked in and read with a comparator. Then it would dispense the item you selected.
    This would be so useful and it’s a shame it’s not in the game already.
