Description
The start_at_slide option is a bit cumbersome for a large timeline or a timeline that is constantly changing. The start_at_slide_id option would work the same as start_at_slide but would accept a string as provided in unique_id, thereby being immune to event shuffling. Just as well would be to support a string in start_at_slide, but that may be a bit more clunky to support in the codebase.

Research direction
Start by locating the existing start_at_slide option and the code that reads slide unique_id values. Implement equivalent lookup by the string supplied to start_at_slide_id, then verify that the timeline starts at the matching slide and remains stable when events are shuffled.
