Add support for special fields (like fileTrees) in Rocksolid Custom Content Elements (RSCE)

Simply add the following to your project's config.php:, _(*7)

$GLOBALS['MULTI_COLUMN_EDITOR']['rsce_fields'] = array_merge(
    is_array($GLOBALS['MULTI_COLUMN_EDITOR']['rsce_fields']) ? $GLOBALS['MULTI_COLUMN_EDITOR']['rsce_fields'] : [], [
        'tl_content' => ['linkImage']
    ]
);

where this would be your RSCE config:, _(*8)

$element = [
     // ...
    'fields'          => [
        'links'              => [
            'label'     => &$GLOBALS['TL_LANG']['tl_content']['links'],
            'inputType' => 'multiColumnEditor',
            'eval'      => [
                'tl_class'          => 'long clr',
                'multiColumnEditor' => [
                    'minRowCount' => 0,
                    'fields'      => [
                        'linkImage'     => [
                            // ...
                            'inputType'               => 'fileTree',
                        ],
