When matching sources should show date of Christening

I was looking for where to suggest upgrades to Family Search and found this, if this isn't the place someone please let me know.

I feel like when you are matching a source for a christening or baptism, you should be able to see if they have been christened or baptized on that page. The following is what I see when I match a baptism or Christening record:

And then I have to go to the person's page to get this:

Christening.PNG

(Name blotted out because it isn't mine)

It isn't impossible, it is just annoying that I can't just see that they were baptized and christened on the same day without some extra effort.

    This goes back to the (insert derogatory adjective of choice) perpetual argument on FamilySearch on the difference between "baptism" and "christening". Non-LDS and multilingual users like me are perplexed, because for us, these words are mathematically-perfect synonyms, but monolingual-anglophone LDS users insist on treating them as if they were as different as apples and couches.
