I was also looking for something similar to be done with timeline for my project. I was interested in showing important event occurring during the 'duration' event. Something like this:
0=========0==========0==========0 Here '0' represent some important event on the duration event track represented by '==='. E.g. If I were to represent one innings of baseball match as a 'duration' event then I would like to indicate the point(s) in time when a home run was hit. Is there a way to achieve this with existing implementation of timeline? If not, I'd appreciate any pointers on how to modify the timeline code to achieve this functionality.
