Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

A missing feature would be the ability to have a broadcast-type queue, where if there are multiple consumers, one task could be read by N consumers.

Alternatively, the possibility to include an option at the task level to ensure it is broadcast to all consumers would be beneficial.

Imo, this would be better solved with traditional pub/sub options likes NATS. I don't see how such a feature would be beneficial aside from racing between workers.
