The person of interest is bolded, but it would be immensely helpful to see which child or sibling I descend through. It may be a spouse of a more direct ancestor or the direct ancestor or siblings, but an option to mark (show purple or orange) my ancestor would be useful. Specifically, when I look for temple names on a well connected line, the most likely group remaining without ordinances would be a sibling of my ancestor; so I identify that person and put them into hope chest to see what descendants need ordinances.

    Back when the View My Relationship feature was a frequent request, we were told the feature took a lot of computational power to calculate and that was why it took quite a while to develop that feature. I imagine that if the relationship was calculated every singe time a page was loaded, that would be a big strain in the system and slow performance down.
