It seems that if a user requests something, it would be because they want to watch it!
Because Overseerr already has plex credentials/tokens for users logging requests on the website, it should be able to use the TMDB or IMDB identifier to add the item (movie or show) to the user's watchlist via the /action/addtowatchlist functionality in Plex, specifically through the metadata.provider.plex.tv path.
Desired Behavior
Ideally, when a user requests an item, add that item (movie or show) to their watchlist. This should work even if the item isn't ready yet because plex will allow non-server items to be added to watchlists.
