Amazon S3 Download Tool should support non-CSV File Formats

I recently cam across a limitation in Alteryx, where we can't download non-CSV files using Amazon S3 download tool. There is currently support only for CSV, and couple of other formats but we are using JSON files (.jl) extensively and not having the tool download the files into the workflow is disapointing as now i have to build a custom code outside Alteryx to do that before I can start my workflow.

Can this be please given prompt attention and prioritized accordingly.

This would be very useful, especially excel formats. Currently there seems to be no way of using this tool to connect to excel sheets (xlsx files) without downloading the zipped file to another location/ local drive which defeats the purpose of use trying to use the S3 bucket for us in the first place.
