How can I import specific function **(not the default one)** from a ES6 module using editor UI?  
`import { OAuth2Client } from 'google-auth-library';`

It is probably possible to achieve it with `functionExternalModules: true`, `requre()` and `global.get()`, but maybe there's a more convinient way inside the editor.

Also, I'm not sure how `functionExternalModules` works with the new versions of Node-RED.

Try sending `googleAuthLibrary` to a debug node

Eg. `node.warn({googleAuthLibrary})`

You'll _probably_ see it contains the `OAuth2Client` function/class meaning you can access it via `googleAuthLibrary.OAuth2Client` or `const {OAuth2Client} = googleAuthLibrary`

Ps, please don't tag people arbitrarily.
