[R-meta] calculation of weighted median instead of weighted mean

Greetings
I am trying to calculate weighted median instead of weighted mean for
meta-analysis.
I used to use `metamean` but unfortunately no `metamedian` if the data was
skewed.
I saw [this][1] but it is irrelevant in case of meta-analysis.
I appreciate any help or guidance on this.

Here is my prior code.

```
library(meta)
data(Fleiss1993cont)
# Meta-analysis of weighted mean from each study in a *single arm
meta-analysis*
m1 <- metamean(n.psyc, mean.psyc, sd.psyc,   data = Fleiss1993cont, studlab
= study); forest(m1)
```
I posted my question in stackoverflow.com (Link:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/74804396/how-do-i-calculate-weighted-median-instead-of-weighted-mean-for-single-arm-meta
)

Appreciate your help and guidance and help
