Comment (by DrewAPicture):

 Replying to [comment:9 cliffseal]:
 > @DrewAPicture That seems doable. Would we still create an additional UI
 element to choose media size, or would image choices be integrated into
 the existing dropdown?

 This is kind of the sticking point. There's ''already'' an option to
 choose an image size for the gallery display, and adding a second option
 while trying to clearly express the difference would be pretty likely to
 cause confusion.

 In reality, this seems like a cool ability, but also pretty edge. My
 recommendation would be initially added support only for the attribute to
 accept an image size and handle outputting the correct links.

 Of course, the attributes are also already filterable via the
 [https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/hooks/shortcode_atts_shortcode/
 shortcode_atts_gallery] hook, so it could be done programmatically as
 well.

 If a plugin or theme wanted to extend that functionality into the Gallery
 UI, the
 [https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/hooks/print_media_templates/
 print_media_template] hook makes it possible to add a Backbone template.
 Jetpack uses that hook to add a "Type" drop-down for their Carousel
 module, for instance.
