Have Plot articles attachable to Historial Entires on time lines

What functionality is missing? What is unsatisfying with the current situation?

When creating a new Historical Entry, you can attach it to a few articles already (Related Characters, Organizations, Gen Article, Location, Species) which is great, but it would be nice to be able to attach a Plot (and / or Prose maybe?) Article to it as well.   I can manually linked the two to each other sure, but it is very time consuming, and a little frustrating that you have this great plot article template already included, but no easy way to plot them out on a time line to easily visualize the scale of which these points are hit.  

How does this feature request address the current situation?

Just letting the two items be attached to each other automatically like it does with other article types

The Team's Response

Thanks for the suggestion! We'd like to revisit how linking articles from historical entries works, as we think that system could be improved. But as of now, this won't be implemented as every predefined link between entities adds load to the database. Remember that you can always manually link an article from the event's description!
