Display ages for characters tagged on timeline

What functionality is missing? What is unsatisfying with the current situation?

right now, even though i have filled out the birth information for characters on their profile pages, i have to math everyone's ages for events when i add them to the timelines.  

How does this feature request address the current situation?

All the information is already on World Anvil - is there a way to automate this calculation?

Example - battle such and such on may 3, year 85 involved characters A B & C. When those characters are tagged - it would tell you how old each character would have been at that battle.

The Team's Response

Thanks for your suggestion! We like the idea, but we're not sure how to do it yet, so we're accepting it for investigation. If we see it's technically feasible, it will happen.

    Not really sure what you're envisioning here, but I certainly don't think there should be an automatic calculation based on whether someone is tagged in a Birth timeline event. There are three people (at least) relevant to a birth, and only one person is the actual baby. Calculations based on that tag could be a real problem.

    This could help with calculating child bearing years for women.   Example: what age a woman had a child by marking both mother and child in the timeline.
