Being able to group documents for different people into one place?

Is it possible to create a feature that allows documents for different people to be grouped into one place? To elaborate, here's an example:

Creating a page where WWI draft registration cards for all males who subsequently became supercentenarians (aged 110+) all appear in one place. This would allow one to quickly and easily see which cases of such men involved them claiming a different birth date in the late 1910s than they subsequently did at the time of their deaths.

In theory, I myself could be interested in creating such a page was there a actual opportunity to do so; we already have a list of male supercentenarians here (on a different website), after all: https://gerontology.fandom.com/wiki/List_of_validated_male_supercentenarians

What do you think about this?

    A similar idea would be to create a page where death records for all supercentenarians are put. Or one could create a general such page and then split it into male and female categories, for death records for male supercentenarians and for female supercentenarians separately. I definitely know that FamilySearch.org has some death records for supercentenarians.

    WikiTree has "space pages" where such projects could live, but it's a far smaller tree than FS's, so there's room.

    WikiTree is independent from FamilySearch, right?

    WikiTree is also a collaborative online tree that's free of charge, but it has no connection with FamilySearch (or any other site/organization).

    (Well, OK, there are connections, because FS has so many of the sources that we cite on WT, and people have created tools for linking the two trees, but there is no organizational connection.)

    Thank you, Julia! Maybe I'll join it later. We shall see. But not right now. Not yet.
