Swipe map with drop down choices?

(Crossposted on Experience builder questions)

I am looking for a way (could be in Experience Builder, or Story Maps, or some other ESRI AGOL app) to create a 'swipe' style comparison map, but with the additional feature of a drop down on the two maps on either side of the slider, enabling the user to choose which images to swipe between. Use case: I have a time series of imagery for my work's project site. I would like to offer co-workers a way to choose between available images in AGOL and swipe between them at will to see changes over time, using different time pairings. Any advice on how to make this happen?

You can use the Layer List capability in certain Instant Apps such as Media Map (which includes swipe comparison functionality) to provide layer switching capabilities.

For example:

Thank you, Rylee! Nice example. (And nice reminder of where I grew up!)
