OctoPrint plugin to use Gcode from Prusaprinters•org?

Given that Prusaprinters•org has a growing library of pre-sliced files, is there a project out there to make a OctoPrint plugin to get us "one-click-printing"?

There are plenty of reasons to be skeptical of "one-click-printing", but I think printing to a Prusa printer from files that are sliced from PrusaSlicer has a chance. I have been manually downloading pre-sliced Gcode and re-uploading just fine, but it's quite a few clicks. To take this to the next level with a OctoPrint plugin, it's easy to imagine a gallery of prints that have Gcode that matches your printer then a button to start printing. The metadata of Gcode nozzle, machine model, and filament is there. Doesn't need to be an app, even a webpage from OctoPrint would be amazing.

I'm not sure if Prusaprinter's has an API to make this feasible... But if someone is working on it, I'd love to see it!

I'm pretty sure most people avoid pre-sliced code like the plague, just too many variables.

There is not one and I am not sure I would want one.

Beside special Testprints that I exchange with the support, why should I use another ones G-Code?
My Filament will have different settings. Even between Spool A and B from Prusa.
I have a different retract.

.... this list is endless!

Not just a questions, that faked G-Code can damage my printer and I can't check it and specially I printed directly.
