Closed as not planned

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
In order to run testing for various telemetry signals against differing exporter types, I'd like to propose updating the configurations for traces, metrics, and logs, in order to push in a custom exporter or trace provider.
Describe the solution you'd like
In conjunction with #37044, this could look something like this:
func MetricExporterFactory() (sdkmetric.Exporter, error) {
...
return otlpmetricgrpc.New(context.Background(), exporterOpts...)
}
...
mc := metrics.NewConfig()
mc.Endpoint = "localhost:1234"
mc.RunDuration = 5 * time.Second
mc.ExporterFactory = MetricExporterFactory
err := metrics.Start(mc)Describe alternatives you've considered
No response
Additional context
This concept does rely on #37044 to go forward which would open up the API in general allowing for use of the telemetry generation logic. I'm hopeful we can make it work 😄
