Continuation of [My first gramplet - “Historical Context” for gramps 5.2](https://gramps.discourse.group/t/my-first-gramplet-historical-context-for-gramps-5-2/6348) topic.

Would it be possible to add the reading of an attribute of the person dedicated to the gramplet in which would be indicated the files that we want to read for this person in addition to those selected in the gramplet settings?

This would allow for example to associate with certain people purely local events that only concern some people and not all persons in the database.

We could have an attribute of this kind:

- Type: Historical Context
- Value: belgium, ww1

When finding this attribute and these values the gramplet ​​would read the information, in addition to the checked files, those of the files `belgium_v1_0.txt` and `ww1_v1_0.txt`.
