Yes, there is an easy way to do this. Set a javascript var to the date you want to be able to go to, then add an html javascript hyperlink that calls the centerTimeline() function with that var.
For example:
<script type="text/javascript">
var Spirit = "November 17 1998 00:00:00 GMT";
</script>
Quick Go to: [<a href="javascript:centerTimeline(Spirit)">Spirit</a>]
(Your timeline)
Here is a full working example with all the source:
