Add comment of variant comment type from front-end

It would be great to add comment of any types not only ‘Comment’ from the JS. The add comment function exposed in the python API doesn’t seem to accept ‘comment_type’ as an argument.

          				frappe.errprint(frappe.get_traceback())
          
          
			if fetch_value:
          				frappe.response['fetch_values'] = [frappe.utils.parse_val(c) for c in fetch_value]
          
          
		frappe.response['valid_value'] = valid_value
          		frappe.response['message'] = 'Ok'
          
          

          
@frappe.whitelist()
          def add_comment(reference_doctype, reference_name, content, comment_email, comment_by):
          	"""allow any logged user to post a comment"""
          	doc = frappe.get_doc(dict(
          		doctype='Comment',
          		reference_doctype=reference_doctype,
          		reference_name=reference_name,
          		comment_email=comment_email,
          		comment_type='Comment',
          		comment_by=comment_by
          	))
          	doc.content = extract_images_from_html(doc, content)

I found a way to overcome this by creating a new comment through
frappe.desk.form.save.savedocs but I am not sure whether that is efficient. Should I post an issue or am I missing anything here?
