Let the spell Gate access the Astrolobe / Planes

Just a kinda shot in the dark kind of suggestion.

The spell gate isn't specifically only for summoning outsiders, though that is one of it's uses. It can also be used to open portals to other planes.

is there any way we can prehaps have some sort of functionality added to the gate spell, so that if cast in areas where an attunement potion could take you to teh astrolobe, that prehaps casting gate on yourself will do the same thing?

Or prehaps allow you use gate on the gate in teh astrolobe and allow you access to a realm your character is aligned with?

Or heck, both? Who knows. Just thoughts I was thinking about that would be nifty to add to the game for flavor purposes.

I think that would make an already powerful spell far too powerful. I'm not against some sort of planar gate spell but not on... gate as is? Going to reject.
This too shall pass.

(I now have a DM Discord (I hope) It's DM GrumpyCat#7185 but please keep in mind I'm very busy IRL so I can't promise how quick I'll get back to you.)
