Gantt: start dates as weeks?

Question

Hi,
I know it's possible to print the gantt schedule in PlantUML as week numbers.

But is it possible possible to define project start or other activites as weeks instead of specific dates?
Since there are several dates in one week the assumption could be that this corresponds to first day in the week or something.

Todays syntax

Project starts 2024-07-01
[Activity] starts 2020-07-16

Wanted syntax

Project starts 2024w27
[Activity] starts 2024w29

I had to create a Task in VS Code that I can run to convert YYWww to YYYYMMDD just to allow me to use the Gantt feature in a work setting where everything is referenced in years and week numbers. Allowing support for both dates and week number formatting would be a huge help in usability. Perhaps even YYYYWwwD, following ISO8601, could be used (2024w29-1 for Monday and 2024w29-5 for Friday) would work, with nothing filled in resulting in a default setting.
