IM Change Detection ability to compare using subset of time frame.

We have Near Real Time (NRT) environment where we process the data every day from 8 am - 9am, 9 am - 12pm and 2pm - 3 pm SMF time frame. We want ability to select custom time range and use same time range for comparison for every reference period day for the past 30 days.

For Example: Today's data is the selection time frame 11/20/24 8 am - 12 pm, we want reference time frame to be same 8 am - 12 pm for everyday reference period from past 30 days.  We cannot use shifts because the selected time frame is from two different shifts.
