Heather, Ah, thank you for the clarification; I was a bit concerned!
I am not sure whether something like this can be incorpoarated and have not the time at present to think it through. Off the top of my head, I would think that one would still have to close the screen in use and go to another screen, which is similar to using the chronology screen as suggested.
