I notice when using the Special:ProtectedPages article it will return both article pages and redirect pages.

Although there are ways to customize this search based on criteria like whether it's mainspace vs userspace, the length of protection, the type (move v edit) of protection...

There doesn't appear to be a way to discern protected redirects from protected articles and get results tailored to these specific types of pages.

Is this a feature that might plausibly be added in the future? Since there are redirect-specific functions it seems like the software is able to detect them so it might be plausible to do.

It seems barring that the only way to do so would be by manually creating "protected redirects" and "protected articles" categories to track them.
