Feature request - Interactive lessons with computer playing opponent sub-variations

Interactive lesson mode is the tool I was looking for to train my openings ! However, in order to have an effective training, it would be game changing to have the computer playing randomly sub variations for the opponent.

Sure you can have it using "vs computer" but to maximize memorizing I think it's the way.

Fore example, if you're training an opening with white, that the computer plays sometimes the main lines but another time the second line.

Bonus : If this feature was combined with offline study mode, opening training would be as accessible as tactics training.
Bonus 2 : Nice to have, if this feature could allow user to choose opponent variations
listudy.org is a free and open source site that allows you to study openings (and other stuff) like you describe with bonus spaced repetition (like chessable). You can browse already created public studies or create your own public or private studies by importing lichess studies or PGNs.
Listudy does what I want thank you again Mr_Goodkat361. In addition, it uses lichess studies ! It would be so great to have it directly on lichess because the site can have some inconveniences like not having an app (+ all the great features that lichess has) or to have to delete and re-import the lichess study to have it updated.
I agree, this would be a really cool feature. One probably one lichess may implement at some point. Just like the personal opening database, which was available externally before lichess decided to include it into the site.

The problem is, that external services providing the feature reduce the urgency of the lichess team to implement it...

BUT the very existence of such a service shows, that the feature is very helpful. Wow. If lichess included this feature, they may even be somewhat a replacement for chessable's quickstarter guides (even though chessable's move trainer technology and the exp-system etc. are very well made and of course the opening books are of an excellent quality and volume.)
Listudy is open source though, so it can helps lichess to implement it as well !
By the way, if you want to train using a mobile app, I can recommend exporting your study to PGN and load it with the App SCID (can be found in the Playstore). SCID has a training mode, where it moves for the opponent, however no spaced repetition option.
