What can we do with the Xano realtime connector in Bubble?

Thanks Eli Beachy for the latest update to the connector.

I've been playing around with the realtime functionality and it is easy to get the connector up and running, and returning content from Xano.

What I wanted to ask was what can we actually do with the content returned from Xano by realtime? As far as I can tell, it appears that we can only exchange and display text messages to/from users. What I was hoping to do is send JSON data structures to Bubble and then use these JSON payloads as Bubble "Type of Content" structures, so that we could build for example fields on a page.

I tried creating a dummy "Type of Content" structure in the API connector, and then setting the type of content on the listener to this dummy API structure, and then setting a text field to show one of the key/value pairs of the dummy structure but nothing appears. The fields from the Type of Content also only appeared on the "Messages" section of the listener, and not the payload section, which may also be contributing to nothing being displayed, but I'm only guessing.

Is it possible to use JSON structures returned by the realtime connector in a Bubble "Type of Content" way?

Thanks.
