When I am editing a sequence I have it play certain files for almost everything to keep it related to holidays such as Christmas or Halloween. Audio bumpers for example. When I add an audio bumper to the sequence, the menu where you are able to edit, rename, copy, move, disable/enable, and remove it would be nice to have a "Play" option so that you could play that individual part of the sequence. This would help when I'm wondering if that specific audio bumper is what I wanted. Since I have so many I forget which ones are which and being able to play that individual part of the sequence would be nice to quickly see if it was what I was looking for. This could be helpful with many things such as trivia and being able to quickly see if it's the right trivia you want, or trailers, intermission and all those other parts of the sequence. Being able to quickly view what you just added instead of having to watch the whole sequence to get to that part would be nice.

Question for @OTA and @NightWatcherTheater. After scraping all movies in my library to store the nfo and fanart in the movie's directory I then downloaded a custom movie poster for a few titles (didn't like any of the options available in TMM). Once completed, I went to Kodi and scraped all movies using local info only. Most titles displayed everything correctly -- posters, fanart, clearlogo -- but Kodi did not display some of the custom movie posters that I downloaded and told TMM to use. The filenames for the posters are perfectly fine in the movie folder's directory (movie_name-poster.jpg) and I can manually select the custom poster after browsing to the Item Folder. Have you come across this issue? (Note: This only seems to be affecting Kodi installed on my Firestick 4K, not my nVidia Shield Pro). Figured it out: The Firestick is accessing my media server via FTP (faster) whereas the ethernet-connected nVidia Shield Pro is using the SMB server. This is an odd bug, I'll notify the Kodi developers.

you can do this using tags in kodi. i am using this to accomplish your goal right now. i am using it to trigger sequences for boutique bumpers (Shout / Scream Factory now - i plan on making ones for Vinegar Syndrome and others soon) I would like this implementation if it could be operated like the audio bumpers. based on the genre, in sequence, have it play a certain bumper that matches that item. instead of DTS, Atmos, etc, you could have Christmas, Horror, etc. maybe a movie.title.PSE_foldername format where it parses the foldername and gets random content from that folder. it would need some kind of PSE indicator as Christmas is in a lot of titles. this would prevent unintended triggering of a bumper.

I had my speakers turned up... that scared the piss out of me.

We will be submitting PSE for the official Kodi Repo ASAP. We are still trying to tackle a few remaining bugs before we do that though.

Options are good. There's always more ways than one to accomplish something.

You wouldnt have to if you chose not to and can continue based on genre. I'd probably update a few dozen filenames with keywords, mostly Christmas films and kids films, but I'd also have trailer intros & home theater intros created using a Star Wars theme, a UFO theme, a Transformers theme and a couple more.
