Allow importing external activities to include them in Cardio Load

Dear team,
Allow the import / automatically import Trainings from other platforms and take them into account when calculating the training load. There are several platform where trainings are recorded. It is a pain to double record them on several devices.
(This even can be a premium feature I would pay for.)

Moderator edit: Clarified subject
This is needed because:
As I mentioned you would need to record them twice. My rowing machine has a own training platform and my bike has a garmin head unit. Bith devices can not be euqivalently replaced because they simply record more values (e.g. stroke rate, power, cadence). It would be great to have these trainings in the firbit cardio calculation.
I'd use this: Daily

As Cardio Load does not record activity while swimming (due to HR being disabled on Fitbit devices while swimming) the ability to import average HR from other devices that measure HR in the water is necessary if Cardio Load is to be of any use to swimmers using Fitbit.
