Display list web parts in SPO modern page?

Is there an option to display a list/library web part at SPO modern page like it can be done in the classic one? If not, is there a plan to add this important capability and when?

Have you looked at the Highlighted Content web part?

The Highlighted Content web part is nice that it allows you to add a list now to a Modern page and determine how many items you want displayed. Any way to make it look nice like the Summary View used to work on old Links lists when added to a page? Tried creating a default view that only displays the URL, but you cannot change the view you use on the Highlighted Content part.

There's also a "Document Library" web part. You are then able to select the library view you want to use, and you can also us List or Column formatting. List/column formatting doesn't yet work 100% in library view webparts but I believe they are working on it

  Thanks, Rick. So, basically, this is just another example of the List Web Part not being quite ready yet on Modern Pages. But, based on the flexibility of the Document Library Web Part, seems like that functionality should be built in some time in the future. Hopefully! Was looking for an easy way to display people's old Links List versus re-doing as a Quick Links list.
