Digitization of Bistum Würzburg Catholic Church Records

It's my understanding that Bistum Würzburg (Catholic Diocese of Würzburg in Bayern/Bavaria) records are digitized but only available at the Bistums Würzburg Archiv in Germany.  Is there any chance these will one day be available to all online like other parishes increasingly being put online on sites like Matricula and Archion?

I would like to look for information on the Spahn family of Elfershausen and Altbessingen, possibly the birth of a direct ancestor Magdalena (nee Spahn) Becker around 1808 in Bessingen/Altbessingen, and the Karg and Johannes families of Mittelstreu, which both lie in Bistum Würzburg jurisdiction.  Thank you!

The only way to find out is to write to the diocesan Archive and ask if there are plans to put the parish records online, and if so, approximately when and on what platform.

When I was there in Oct 2019, they said they MIGHT make records accessible online in 5 years.
