Thanks David! I was 'assuming' that somehow I had to specify the eventSource by name and could find no way to do that since <link /> ( the example I had anyway ) didn't name the source. However, your response that more than one data link could be used prompted me to just add another <link /> to the other spreadsheet and sure enough, it is inserted into the timeline also. Simple and Perfect :)
