I would like to chose an indexer of my choice for my node.
Sure, thats not a feature for beginners. But it would be nice to have some expert mode or menu to provide more advanced features like this.

In 1.18 we added support for using bitcoin core RPC
Nice! thank u much
I assume you are using LDK backend, since with LND you already should have a bitcoind running yourself alongside.
With LDK backend currently electrum is still not supported, only electrs, so if you are able to self-host an electrs instance (for example https://github.com/romanz/electrs ) you can set the env var LDK_ESPLORA_SERVER to your instance and it should work.
