It's not hard to do it visually on a full family tree (ie one that shows ALL the people, not rather than just descendant and ancestors), but difficult when the size of the tree is very large.
I'm hoping to find something like:
This is typically done by [[Gramps_{{Version manual}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Settings#Setting_Home_person|designating one Person as the Home Person]] and [[Gramps_{{Version manual}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Navigation#Setting_the_Active_Person|navigating the Active Person selection]] to the others as they pop up in discussion.
Once you have set the Home Person, several options can show the Active Person's relationship to the Home Person:
=== Reports ===
Several of the reports (if I recall correctly) have an option to show the relationship to the home person -- or not.

The Records view of a Family Historian database has fields showing the:
Individual (by name), Record ID, Dates (Birth and Death - as appropriate)
as default and one can add other fields. I added Birth Place and
Relationship to Root, both selected from a drop-down menu.
So, when creating a report for All Individuals, I end up with a report as
in the [https://sourceforge.net/p/gramps/mailman/message/35916181/ following example].

===The Status Bar:===
ln the [[Gramps_{{Version manual}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Settings#Display|display tab of the Preferences]], you can change the Status bar from the default of displaying thr the 'Active person's name and ID' to 'Relationship to home person'.
* The '''Relationship to home person''' [[Gramps_{{Version manual}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Settings#Display|Display Preferences]] option for the Status bar
* '''Relation to Home Person''' [[Gramps_{{Version manual}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Reports_-_part_8#Quick_Views|quick view]].
* The '''[[Deep_Connections_Gramplet|Deep Connections]]''' gramplet: If this third party add-on is installed, it will list the intervening generations through the sibling offspring of a common ancestor. (But it does not list the common ancestor or if whether both person a persons are connected through the same spouse.) The Gramplet also details the indirect relationships. * Kinship report
