[Feature Request] Timeline-arrow #44

Open ReconVirus opened 1 month ago

ReconVirus commented 1 month ago

Integration with timeline arrows,

Use case would be to "link" events together, or show a connections between them as a cause and effect

This is pretty cool. I'll add it to the to-do list

Looking into this, actually implementing the arrows should be fairly simple. I'm more wondering how I would be able to let the end user make those connections themselves. From the timeline-arrows README, each connection has to be have the ID of start and finish.

Right now I generate an ID for each event from the normalized start date of an event, so perhaps I could add a field on events for successor, arrow-to, points-to, next-event or some such?

Events would probably look like:

<div class="ob-timelines"
  data-title="First Event"
  data-start-date="2024-5-24"
  data-points-to="2024-6-11"
>
  Event Number One
</div>
<div class="ob-timelines"
  data-title="Second Event"
  data-start-date="2024-6-11"
>
  Event Number Two
</div>

Does this seem an acceptable way to add this? What are your thoughts?

Sorry for the long wait as im just seeing this now, didnt expect youll get to it this fast, and yeah actually that pretty much sums up how i figure it to work or a simple connects-to : (name of event) as a simpler way
