How old is John when Jill goes up the hill?

In Aeon Timeline, Entities can be Characters in a novel and these can be given a birth date. All good so far. However, what I find myself asking in a novel all the time is how old Character A is when Character B does Event X. At the moment, the only way I can think to get Aeon to calculate this for me is to add A to Event X even if A doesn't directly have anything to do with the event. I know I can add A as an Observer, rather than a Participant, but it seems like such a frequent requirement, I'd like an easier way to view this in the UI. Maybe a right-click on an event could show the ages of all Entities of a certain type (e.g. Character) at that time-point. Or is there a way to do this already that I am not aware of? (I have only just begun using Aeon.) - Patrick

If you Group by Character, you will see the characters' ages on the line next to their name across the timeline.
