Need a way to see Parent Task name in Timeline View, when task is a Subtask

We very much need some way of showing the name of the parent task when a task in Timeline view is a Subtask.

Right now I have a project I have set up specifically constructed to use Timeline View in optimal ways, and yet I have around 100 subtasks all named “Delivery Date”. That’s just completely not helpful. If I could have the Parent Task name show up, it would be something like it shows on Calendar View, so I could distinguish between one subtask and another. It would say “Delivery Date: 1414 Mockingbird” or “Delivery Date: 1600 Pennsylvania Ave”. THAT would be magnificent.

At this point it’s a necessity for me. What I’m trying to do is use Timeline to back into setting up some dependencies that we failed to set up when we first created this project.

I have 5 subtasks that I need to set dependencies in, and around 100 parent tasks all with these same-named subtasks. It’s quite impossible to set this up without having to open every single task in detail view to see what the parent task is.
