[Plugin: WooCommerce] Repurposing prices as dates

Hello,

I’m repurposing the WooCommerce plugin to make pages for a historical object exhibit, and I want to be able to filter objects by date of creation. I thought I might use the price slider to do that.

There is no problem when an object has a certain date like 1783. The problem is that some objects have date ranges, e.g., 600 C.E. – 800 C.E.

Is there a way to hack the price slider to handle this? For example, if someone adjusts the sliders to search for objects from 700 C.E. to 1000 C.E., they should see objects that were made from 600 C.E. – 800 C.E.

Thank you!
