A structure for Phantoms

I would like to see some more features added to the mob Phantoms to make them a more interesting mob, and give them the love they deserve that they are without a doubt lacking. One idea that I have come up with for the Phantom is to give them an actual place that they could come from and retreat back to (when daylight comes) instead of flying until they die from the sunlight. After three full in-game days of not sleeping phantoms would spawn obviously, once dawn hits they would start to retreat back to where they dwell, some sort of cave or abandoned structure. The player could choose to follow the phantoms until they reach they're home, which then the player could loot and possibly find some sort of valuable and unique item exclusive to that structure (I don't know what the item could be but I'm sure you could come up with something!). But the player would have to be extremely quiet as there would be phantoms hanging from the ceiling like bats resting until nightfall, and if awoken they will attack the player. This is an Idea I came up with that I think would definitely make Phantoms a much more interesting mob instead of just being an annoying somewhat pointless mob that it is right now in it's current state. I hope you guys will consider my idea, thank you!

    Given Phantoms can generate away from mountains (even the middle of the oceans) perhaps their structure should spawn in the air after 3 days, and it vanishes every morning after the phantoms return. This would make it sort of a limited-time dungeon, difficult but present were ever phantoms are. With a spawner or ensuring, phantoms constantly can spawn, raiding it would be tricky, and if you are still in the dungeon at daybreak you face a fall from the height it generated probably needs to be 40+ blocks above ground level and 10+ blocks from any mountain. Lore wise this would make phantoms extraplanar and food/hunting raiders into the overworld.
