Sure, but you may not be on the dashboard. If you raise a ticket while
viewing a ticket, milestone, version etc the activity stream in that
context most likely won't show this. Navigating away you would lose context.

I do think that we should have the ability to query the activity stream,
but I see that in the context of the Custom Query interface: output is
either a list of tickets (current), or an activity stream (optionally in
future). The activity stream everywhere could contain a link to that
preformed query (only 'my actions'). That's a pattern we already have for
the queries shown on the dashboard for example.

Joe
