Create a new search option: "How are these two people related?"
I often use the "view my relationship" button to see how a contributor, or a deceased person is related to me.
But, I would also like to compare the relationship of two deceased people to each other. My thought is a link that says something like: How is FSID# (enter number) related to FSID# (enter number)?
This option would help when trying to identify people in a family group or non-linear descendent relatives. It would also help when trying to find relationships of people with the same last name, but who are not closely related. When I try to find relationships of those in trees of my DNA matches, for example, it would be helpful if I could compare my ancestor "H. Bradley FSID# " with their ancestor "F. Bradley FSID#" to see if and how they are related to each other.

I am just another 'lowly' User/Patron ...
Just in passing ...
'FamilySearch', DOES NOT, need to create, such a new search option; as, you suggest.
BECAUSE ...
Such a feature/facility/function, ALREADY exists; but, NOT, in the "Family Tree" Part, of 'FamilySearch'.
Please let me explain ...
IF, you have not already utilised such; THEN, I humbly suggest that you try ...
(BYU) RelativeFinder, which is one of a number of the, Third Party Applications, that are Certified to work with Family Tree of 'FamilySearch'.
BYU = Brigham Young University, in Provo, Utah, USA (ie. the Church University).
Specifically, from the Family History Technology Laboratory, of the Computer Science Department.
Provide, one's "Ancestral" Lines, in Family Tree of 'FamilySearch', are somewhat extensive ...
Then, using (BYU) RelativeFinder, one should be able to 'see' one's "Relationship" NOT only with, "Famous People"; and, many, "Others"; but, ALSO between, (1) one's self and a "Deceased" individual/person (if, there is one of course); and/or (2) two (x2) "Deceased" individuals/person (if, there is one of course); and/or, (3) one's self and a another "Living" User/Patron (if, there is one of course).
PLUS, one can ALSO "Print" the connections/links between them.
And, it is simple, just a matter of "Signing In", with the "Credentials" of one's 'FamilySearch' Account; accepting the "Conditions"; and, the "Connection" between, "FamilySearch' and (BYU) RelativeFinder; which, then becomes a "Partner" Account, that is "Connect" to 'FamilySearch'.
(BYU) RelativeFinder digs (pun intended) a lot DEEPER in Family Tree of 'FamilySearch', than 'FamilySearch' does.
Here is direct link to (BYU) RelativeFinder:
https://www.relativefinder.org/#/main
(BYU) RelativeFinder has MANY 'Bells and Whistles', that you might find useful.
Apart from "Famous People" and "Others" ...
(BYU) RelativeFinder has some interesting options ...
There is an option to see if there is a 'Connection' between yourself and a "Deceased" individual/person in Family Tree of 'FamilySearch'.
There is an option to see if there is a 'Connection' between two (x2) "Deceased" individuals/person in Family Tree of 'FamilySearch'.
There is an option to see if there is a 'Connection' between ("Living" - Users/Patrons) Friends in Family Tree of 'FamilySearch'.
And ...
Masquerade

Magic.
Just explore.
Enjoy.
Good Luck.
I hope. that this may also help/assist.

ps: Caveat - Please be aware, that NOT "All" Users/Patrons, may have success; but, hopefully, many will.
