View Relationship - show multiple paths

I love the View Relationship feature, but it would be cool if it could calculate multiple paths. For example, the same person might be my 11th cousin, but also might be the mother of my wife's grandfather for example. Or someone might be my 1st cousin 3 times removed, but also my grandfather... I could see individuals having more than one relationship and it would be cool to calculate them all. Default to the one that is shortest probably.

    The third-party site RelativeFinder (https://www.relativefinder.org/#/start) uses FS's Tree to do those kinds of things.

    (It's kind of dumb, though: I tried to use it yesterday to figure out how I'd gotten down a particular rabbit hole a few years ago, and it kept not finding any relationship until I'd gotten close enough to eliminate all of the marriages in the connection. Of course, at that point, I didn't need RelativeFinder to tell me the relationship.)
