What functionality is missing? What is unsatisfying with the current situation?

Within the cronicles editor there are 4 timeline lanes, and I am asking if it is possible to add an option that draws a line between each of the events on the same lane, provided they have a pin on map as well.   Whether this is a straight line drawn automatically or if there would be an option to have it 'wiggle' on it's way to the next point as the viewer scrolls through time would be nice. Or even if it can be completely drawn by the worldbuilder.  

How does this feature request address the current situation?

I believe it will allow a more immersive way to witness the passage of time across a world, especially if it is following the path of your heroes. Would be great to remember the path your DnD players went as well.  

What are other uses for this feature request?

It could be used to track other phenomenon as well through time, such as ghost ships or drifting portals and the like. Mainly it can add another layer of dynamic interaction with the already beautiful chronicles feature.

I look forward to whatever you come up with, WorldAnvil has always been in the safest of hands. Also I can't believe I didn't mention another clear example of this. Da da da daaaaa da da daaaa. Indiana Jones does this as well!!!!

The Team's Response

The idea is great - it can get very messy but we will explore it in the future.
