WTH it's not easily possible to access past data from Long Term Statistics (LTS)?

Would be so nice, if I could eg. raise an alarm if this months energy consumption exceeds the energy consumption of the same month the year before.

Maybe something changed since 2022 (WTH Can't I get to long-term statistics from templates? + WTH can't I access the stored statistics data in my automations and templates? - #2 by FrnchFrgg)
