Preferred sending address field for an address book entry

[tech44]

Over the years I have acquired several email accounts and associated identities.

Is there a way that an entry in the address book can have a "preferred" sending address, such that, when you click on an entry in the address book to complete the "To field", the preferred sender email address is entered in the "From field"?

If I want a different sending email address, I can just overwrite the preferred sending entry.

If not, could this idea be considered an enhancement for future versions of Thunderbird?

Many thanks
