Possibility to search more than one people at the same time from same record page?

I am doing currently lots of searches by using Catalog and from one indexed Church Record at the time. I am trying to follow families, but in the indexed Finnish Church records, relationships are not indexed or they are indexed wrong. Now I need to do the search person by person and not husband and wife or parents and children searches. There is a possibility to do "Search with a relationship: Other Person", but it does not work if persons in the record do not have any indexed relationship.

It would make things much easier if we could search more than one person at he same time. First we would search one person and then refine the search that it would search if the other wanted persons are on that same record.

For example I am looking this family:

When I do the search where I look for the father Michel Mattsson, I will get several search results (some times there are lots of more results):

Then I need to open every record to see if they contain this family I am looking for. In many occasion people moved and they are mentioned in several pages in the same Church Record. But because there are lots of people with same names, only the relationships can help to separate the right persons. But relationships are not indexed!

Currently there is a possibility to Filter by collections but it would be great to have a possibility to filter by persons mentioned on that same record page!
