Would it be possible to add a "parent task" feature on the Gantt feature of PlantUML please?

It seems now quite popular in Gantt diagram to be able to configure a "parent" / "master" / "epic" / "story" task above others to define a "logical relation" between several tasks. To say it otherwize, all the other tasks are to be done to accomplish this "parent task".

Common rendering example: https://jsganttimproved.github.io/jsgantt-improved/

Proposed syntax:

[Parent] starts 2024-07-17  and ends 2024-07-29
[T1] is a child of [Parent]

The children tasks shall use the whole duration of their parent task in case no start/end is defined.

What do you think about this idea? If it makes sense, and if it can be useful, I can continue thinking about this and make a better proposal.
