Lightroom Classic: Use embedded JPEG as a starting point for RAW conversion
I wonder if it would be possible, that lightroom analyzes the embedded / sidecar JPEG and derives necessary settings from it to apply to the RAW to mimic the same look. This would be a great starting point for my processing - when I fine tune my picture style on my camera, and import the photographs to Lightroom, the original look is gone, once lightroom processes it's own previews. And a lot of times its hard for me to get at least close ot the look of the JPEG, as processed by camera.

The beauty of shooting raw file format is that you don't have to make camera setting changes to get a specific image rendering. Do this with LR's Develop controls as post-processing to achieve a specific rendering. Set your camera to shoot raw + JPEG, use 'Reference View (SHIFT + R) to drag the JPEG next to the selected raw file, and then start by selecting the Camera Calibration> Profile that matches the JPEG. Add Vibrance, Saturation, and Tone Curve settings to get the rendering even closer. Create a Develop preset with just these settings checked and apply as needed. Create as many Develop presets as you need. After applying a preset adjust the image using the Basic panel Tone controls as normally do or simply click on 'Auto' tone.
