Triads came up in a recent jazz video Justin did.
The advice given there was start with one shape and stick with it through a chord progression, even if this involves big movements along the neck.
To use it in a meaningful way along the lines you are thinking, you need to know the major and minor triad shapes.
For any song you know, literally any, that involves only major and minor chords, play arpeggiated triads on three strings only, up and down the neck, using only one shape for major and one for minor.
Let's say you know a song:
Verse: C. G. Am F
Chorus: C. F. G
etc
Play along with it with arpeggiated triads.
Assuming the rhythm is 4/4 play four notes per bar.
Choose a picking pattern and stick to it at first.
Perhaps lowest note to highest (=3) then back down one note.
Later you may want to vary it.
Maybe targeting the root note (if it isn't the lowest note of the triad shape) first.
Use all the same shape for major chords and the related shape for minor chords.
Repeat for a different triad shape on the same strings.
You should be able to follow je three shapes for any group of three adjacent strings.
Once this becomes comfortable stretch yourself by trying to mix and match triad shapes to go along with the progression but without moving so far along the he neck.
If you start with strings 1,2 and 3 then move to strings 2,3 and 4.
After which you should have six major and six minor shapes.
This will allow you to play along with the chord progression with very little lateral movement along the neck.
Rinse and repeat for other chords in other keys.
Try this with lots of songs that you already know.
