Jon,
I just added that capability in the (unreleased) 2.0 version of Timeline.
http://static.simile.mit.edu/timeline/api-2.0/timeline-api.js
This feature can be seen in this exhibit example
http://simile.mit.edu/exhibit/examples/presidents/presidents-2.html
in which clicking on a marker on the map would scroll the timeline and
pop up a bubble.
You can call
tl.getBand(0).showBubbleForEvent(eventID);
You can explicitly specify the event id of an event using the "id"
attribute in the XML file:
<event id="jfk shot" title="JFK shot" ...
Let me know if that works for you.
