Allow use of Apple Maps when displaying location from image EXIF data

I use Apple Maps on all my Apple equipment, and have all my points of interest catalogued there, and also use it when navigating. When I click on the arrow button next to the geolocation data in the image information pane, I'm taken to Google Maps; I have no option to display the location in Apple Maps.

I realise that some people prefer Google Maps over Apple Maps or OpenMaps, but many people would like to use the mapping software that they prefer, and that's not always Google Maps. It would be helpful if Capture One provided an option to specify which mapping software the user preferred. Certainly when running under macOS, it seems reasonable to at least offer the option of using Apple Maps, the built-in map software.

Current workaround

At the moment, I end up having to copy the location coordinates from the Google Maps display and pasting them into Apple Maps. I imagine I could write an AppleScript to extract the location data from the image EXIF and open that in Apple Maps, but it would not be quite as nice as being able to click the arrow in the Info pane. Though, to be honest, it might be easier, as it would not require me to click the Info tool first.
