That's exactly what I was thinking. So that if you want to see John
Doe's case file you could click on him and you would be able to see the
individual case elements (perhaps inside the timeline bubble view). So
I'm assuming that ex:plot is what will change the labels on the timeline
from label to whatever you specify ex:plot to equal? And I'm not sure
about ex:proxy but, I'm going to guess that it will take each of the
".presence" and link them together so when you click on one you'll get a
"related items" type of a list. I'm also assuming ex:proxy is a
supported feature?
I know I'll have more questions after this but I'll wait.
