While not exactly what you are describing, TMG has the following features. (A TMG tag is the equivalent of Legacy's Event/Fact.) Legacy also has timelines.
"A history tag differs from a regular event tag in that there are no principals. This Tag Type is designed for events of a global, rather than personal, nature. A person is a Witness on a History tag, and the tag is displayed on the Person View of the individual who witnessed the historical event. [...] History tags help you to see where the person fits into an historical context." TMG Help system, "Data Entry: History" "A timeline is a separate database of historical events. The Timeline feature can be turned on to provide an aid in interpreting the events of a person's life against a historical background."
