When creating new lists, isn't there a way to list characters?

Right now we can only create lists of either titles or people (actors). But I think it narrows our options.
I would love to create all sort of lists of characters from dramas and movies. e.g.: best villains, favorite second leads, best fathers, lousiest boyfriends in dramaland and so on. You name it. The sky is the limit... It's not about the actor playing the role, but about the specific character he played in one drama or movie.

I have no idea if adding such an option is difficult, but I imagine it could be something like this:
1. create a new list
2. type / select / titles, people, characters
3. add a name to this list / search / and then typing the name of the actor in the search box takes you to his/her MDL page where you can select the specific role you were interested in...

I don;t know how many people use the option to create lists, but actually for me it is one of the major MDL assets, a unique tool that isn't available anywhere else (at least to my knowledge). The fact that i can create countless lists and share them is both useful and fun.

Lol, nope, just desperate ;) I really though about this many times and I think it would add a lot of fun to our discussions on MDL. Share your list and start a debate, wouldn't that spice up our feeds?
Plus when someone writes an article, you can share the link to your list, if you happen to have created one on the same topic as the author of the article... It's tiresome trying to explain what movie, actor and role you are referring to, while an entry on your list takes everyone directly to the MDL refference...
