Are playable lyrics now a thing in MuseScore 4, or have I completely misread the update notes?

If I have and this is in fact a stupid question, feel free to shoot me with your weapon of choice.

That being said, I got quite excited when I read the latest update notes to find that there is now
"Support for Muse Sounds choral libraries, including lyric text to trigger different phoneme samples." according to https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore/releases

Does this mean that it is possible to write choral parts with lyrics and have them actually "sing" the lyrics, rather than the stock "oo" and "ah" sounds?

If so, then how on Earth do I get them to work because I've been playing around with some lyrics on scores flicking through all kinds of menus, and it doesn't seem to work, which leads to my comment here.

Kind regards,
Dave.

Here’s some clarification, somebody correct me if I’m wrong— the lyrics will only playback if you write the available sounds; so the muse sounds choir will only be able to sing ahh, ooh, and mmm because those were the only vowels sampled. I believe VOXOS choir in musehub has up to 30 vowels and it states that with a lot of work, you can make it somewhat resemble words, but none of these packs will sing back words in lyrics. (I believe). Hopefully that makes sense.
