Description

It'd be great to be able to select galleries, playlists or other multiple items of media from the customizer. Currently we're limited to single objects.

The new gallery widget provides a great interface for managing these selections. https://make.wordpress.org/core/2017/09/25/introducing-the-gallery-widget/

As a very simple example use case, where an image may be inserted somewhere now, it could become a slideshow.

Multiple-instance media settings like galleries and playlists are possible in widgets now. Moving forward, block-based themes would allow these to be used anywhere. There doesn't seem to be much demand for core customize controls that facilitate these types of settings.

For now I would suggest extending the core media control to create custom controls with this functionality in plugins and themes. If anyone wants to propose bringing a specific implementation of this into core, please reopen this ticket.
