If you are wishing something or want to do in future or past, so you have to use '' would'' instead of ''will''.

Is sentence is (past tense). Then, future of this sentence will be also (past tense).
Eg; will past tense is would.

Here "will" replaces "would" because of structure.

If+sub+had+v3, sub+would have+v3.
