This has already been proposed; please see:

The unit of "ticks" is currently specified as 1/960 of a quarter note, at
Michael Good's suggestion to use a number affording divisibility by several
common prime factors. But the concept is what you suggest: a
high-resolution unit that is relative to tempo (similar to MIDI
pulses-per-quarter).
Best,
