Research direction
Review related issues #484 and #669, then investigate the Leaflet Routing Machine and Leaflet.Routing plugins linked in the request. Define how a current location and custom marker should be connected to a walking route, including the integration boundary between folium and Leaflet; the feature is done when users can display that route to a selected custom marker.

Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I'm working on creating a map which has ability to show current location (already done using LocateControl plugin) and has custom markers. I would like to be able to show (walking) route to custom markers from my current location.
Going through bug reports, I found similar request in #484, but in my case it's definitely not solved as part of #669
Describe the solution you'd like
I would like to be able to use plugins such as:
as pointed on Leaflet Routing plugins list
Describe alternatives you've considered
From my current research alternative would be to use different library/backend with Google Maps, but unfortunately there isn't a lot of information on this either.
