Is your feature request related to a specific problem?

Please describe the problem you are trying to solve. (Ex: "I'm always frustrated
when I have to manually handle X...")

The Response from LLM uses com.google.genai.types.Part and the https://github.com/google/adk-java/blob/main/a2a/src/main/java/com/google/adk/a2a/converters/EventConverter.java translates to io.a2a.spec.Part.

There is no way to set the metadata in the io.a2a.spec.Part from the com.google.genai.types.Part.
