We had discussed this or something related at some point of time, maybe
David Nalesnik remembers more.
It probably involves the after-line-breaking hook of some grob, getting
the respective ly:spanner-bound of the broken pieces and take a look at
their
(when ,ly:moment? "Global time step associated with this column
happen?")
property (this documentation string is pretty messed up and probably
warrants fixing). I think it is something like a pair of global time as
well as measure position.
Sorry that this is not more than a bunch of handwaving keywords right
now, but I think that there is a reasonable chance that it's at least
the right kind of keyword...
