I understand there is a feature to construct a custom timeline by accessing some kind of XML data, but it would seem to be useful to be able to extract timelines from remote dbs via normal SQL.

(this could potentially be implemented on both the Desktop client and Server)

(this is a request I made in the old forums, just replicating it here for visibility:
