Microsoft Bookings looking at location setting in Outlook (manage hybrid way of working)

We are currently working in a hybrid environment and want to offer both onsite and remote services through Microsoft Bookings. We have set up shared booking pages and defined 1:1 services for recurring clients. However, our staff members do not work onsite or remotely on the same days, making the "bookable when staff are free" option ineffective as it doesn't account for their location. We want new clients to choose a staff member based on their availability and whether the client prefers a virtual (Microsoft Teams) or onsite meeting. We have set up our Outlook calendars to indicate which days we are onsite or remote. Is there a way to integrate this setup so that Microsoft Bookings can reflect the staff's location-specific availability? The only solution I can think of is creating a Power App with a Microsoft SharePoint Online (SPO) List that checks real-time availability from Outlook calendars and uses the "Create a booking" action in a Power Automate flow. Any advice or alternative solutions would be greatly appreciated! Thnx.
