Research direction

Start by reviewing the Slider API and the type definition for styles.track and styles.handle, then compare them with the deprecated trackStyle and handleStyle props shown in the issue. Determine whether multiple per-track and per-handle values are supported or require an API change; done means the use case has a documented, working approach or a clearly specified replacement.

Description

I have a usecase like this where I want to provide different color and styling to different tracks and handles so I used trackStyle and handleStyle as array

 <Slider
        value={values}
        step={1}
        range={{ maxCount: 4 }}
        allowCross={false}
        marks={marks}
        dots={false}
        trackStyle={[
          { backgroundColor: "green", height: height },
          { backgroundColor: "yellow", height: height },
          { backgroundColor: "red", height: height },
        ]}
        onChange={handleChange}
        handleStyle={[
          { display: "none" },
          handleStyle,
          handleStyle,
          { display: "none" },
        ]}
        railStyle={{ height: height }}
        handleRender={handleRender}
        activeDotStyle={{ display: "none" }}
      />

But now both these properties are deprecated, and we have to use styles.track or styles.handle for this but I'm not able to identify how to provide multiple values in styles.track since it takes a simple object.
Partial<Record<SemanticName, React.CSSProperties>>;

Can we do something in this case?
