Description

Is it possible to have a group of markers which do not have any content? They'd act as 'labels' which appear on the timeline but don't have any content and can't be navigated to by clicking on it or with the arrows.

We're working on some timelines about musical history and would like a group of 'current events' markers to provide historical context but don't actually feature in the timeline's story content.

Research direction

The issue names no files or tests. Start by reviewing how TimelineJS3 represents and renders markers, along with its click and arrow navigation behavior. Done means label-only markers can appear on the timeline without content and are excluded from both click and arrow navigation.
