Individual documents can only be styled using the vector-style properties (fill-color, icon-size, ...).

This layer should also support a heatmap-style. Right now, heatmaps are only supported as a separate layer-type "heatmap layer". This layer-type uses an aggregation in the background to avoid retrieving all the documents.

Can you provide some background on the intended use case and where this request came from?

This would be useful in a few scenarios:
- support styling for timeslidered-data, which will likely introduce client-side filtering based on timestamp. heatmaps for moving tracks is fairly common
- useful for shapes, e.g. lines, where users wants to blend track-paths together (e.g. the tracks-layer)
- it would be useful when the 10k limit starts to matter less, e.g. when .mvt generation can pack together hundreds to millions of document location in a tile (elastic/elasticsearch#58696)

Closing, heatmap layer has added support for high resolution gridding and this provides a much better heatmap.

Having heatmaps in multiple places, documents layer and aggregation layer, would be a UX nightmare of explaining how,why, when to use. Only having heatmap layer for aggregations keeps everything simple.
