Describe the feature or enhancement

We use WordPress and have several authors writing articles. Umami is a great insight into analytics if we talk about individual URLs.

However, I haven't currently found a way to see traffic (analytics data) relative to multiple articles by a single author. Is this possible? Is this planned?

Similarly, one could look at articles in terms of tags or article categories. This would be extremely beneficial for us and we have used this functionality frequently in Google Analytic.

You can send custom event properties along with your events. So if someone was reading a particular article you could send a property with the author's name. See https://umami.is/docs/track-events

But to make it more concrete I will give an example:

author Adam writes 3 articles with url1, url2 and url3
when I need to see from which source he got the most traffic to these three URLs (url1, url2,url3), I have no way to do it

The closest I could do would be a filter to add all three URLs. But entering multiple URLs into a filter is not currently possible.

Even if it were possible, it would mean that I would have to know all of Adam's URLs, which is very inconvenient.

So it would be better if, if I could filter the Umami data directly by Author. In this case, Adam.

Is there any way to add this functionality?

I think it could be related to this PR https://github.com/umami-software/umami/pull/2436

Are there plans to include this functionality in production?
