If this list > doesn't shoot it down, I will make a feature request. I'm not sure I understand what this flag would be exactly, but there are a couple of tools that I use to do similar things. If you want to manually look at the chain of people connecting an ancestor to a descendant, then I use the "Deep Connections Gramplet". You can click on the people in the chain and add an attribute or mark them, for example. Or, you can also use the "Add Attribute Tool". Select a filter ("Ancestors of Person X") and add an attribute to all of them in one swoop. > And then there is the question of why Gramps is "afraid" of using color > highlighting in such situations...
