You can dissolve with any attribute,
but I agree it generally makes more sense with strings

Indeed, that's already how the plugin works
Aggregating strings "A", "B" and "C"    gives "[A, B, C]"
Aggregating 1, 2 and 3                         gives 6
Aggregating 1.0, 2.0, 3.0                      gives 6.0

I just noticed a bug :
the attribute used to dissolve is repeated in the
resulting feature schema
