Adding a filter sounds like it would have multiple uses, not just a surname inheritance chart. You might add a primogeniture filter. Or a lines of descent for cousins to common ancestor.

There have been other threads where a Report was forked (as an addon) and a filtering option was added. That would probably be a way ‘forward’ here.

However, you would do well to explore the [FamilyTreeView addon by @ztlxltl](https://gramps.discourse.group/t/new-familytreeview-addon-thread-2/7014/255). It allows such filtering to be applied to who will be shown in a chart. So all that would be necessary is designing the filter.
