David,
That's very neat :-) You could write your own "ether painter" so you
won't get labels like "101BC" which have nothing to do in your use.
Here's an example
http://people.csail.mit.edu/dfhuynh/misc/planning.html
which uses the "planning" extension
http://static.simile.mit.edu/timeline/api/ext/planning/
As for linking events, there is no support for that right now. It will
need quite a bit of effort to add that feature (using SVG or Canvas).
Cheers,
David
