Not sure if that makes sense. The other dimensions have a finite set of
dimensional items, whereas the period dimension less so.

I think what we could do is when "Yearly" is selected as period type, we
should the 20 last years, and the "previous" button could jump 20 years
back in time instead of just one. Then you could use the "select all" /
double-arrow button to get the years over. This would greatly reduce the
number of clicks. Would that work?
