Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
In my fabrication documents, I like to add a drill map drawing, which is aligned with the PCB Print outputs of the other pages

On the page, I add both the Drill Map and a table with more information on the types of holes, as well as their associated symbol

Describe the solution you'd like
A way to automate the creation of that type of document (inclusion of Drill Map drawing in PCB Print, as well as associated table with symbols). The Drill Map drawing could be included in a similar way to the Include Image feature, but as a vectorized graphics (e.g. DXF). Maybe there could be an option to either use a group as a position, or to automatically position the drill map to be aligned with the PCB (with parametrized scaling).

For the table, it might be possible to create a CSV file to be included with Include Table, but extracting and positioning the symbols might be tricky

Ideally the Table would be similar to Altium:

Describe alternatives you've considered
Currently, I manually import the Drill Map as a DXF, remove the texts and then manually modify the table.

Here we should solve the table first, make the report produce more detailed information.

Hole type: in KiCad we have circular and oval, no more
Pad shape: seems to be unrelated to the drill
