Displaying time (not just date) in timeline?

Displaying time (not just date) in timeline?

Is this possible? If so, could someone explain how? It seems an odd thing
for a timeline not to be able to show time, but I've searched the manual
and the net and can't find anything. (It might be worth adding a note to
the manual that timeline can only show date, not times, if this is the
case?)

I doubt it.

I'm not sure whether anything has been done to the timeline view over
the past few years, but already in 2011, Carsten had this to say:

|   it used to be (many years ago) the only way to see what was
|   coming up.  That is why it only listed the future, and included
|   the past when used with e prefix argument (I believe).
| 
| - Since then the agenda view came along, with vastly better
|   properties for being used as a planning tool for the coming
|   day an d week.  It also included the possibility to look
|   at several files, which made the timelines view of a single
|   file look poor.  Since then, the timeline has been a more
|   or less orphaned feature, and this is why it does not
|   work well with stuff like repeaters (repeaters where added
|   MUCH later).
