But since we're now building heavily on UNO API, a clever script programmer could bring that back to life - selecting a path shape in Impress and assigning that to another shape's effect (note that, internally, you can still perfectly well animate shapes along paths. It's just not currently editable via Impress UI).

But what about simply splitting up the path into multiple, touching subsets, with each of them controlling a separate effect (separate effects can trigger events at start or end)? You can even have a macro or script that hides that for a user...
