Yes, you can do this. Timeline stores the original source objects for your
events inside the event object. You can retrieve them by using
evt.getProperty(attributeName)
e.g.
evt.getProperty("customfield_1")
evt.getProperty("customfield_2")
No processing is performed on the custom properties when they are stored. For
example if you have an extra attribute called "middle_date": "06-23-2012" then
.getProperty("middle_date") returns you the string "06-23-2012" and not a js
date object.
If you are just looking to display custom attributes in the text of the bubble,
you can also override the default fillInfoBubble method or assign custom
fillInfoBubble methods to your events. This is safer and easier than trying to
customize the Timeline source code at the _showBubble level (unless you want
to change the behavior of showing the bubble itself)
