Description

I'd love https://its-airborne.org/historical-timeline.html#1910 be possible, that'd insta-scroll to the next event in that year ... which is https://its-airborne.org/historical-timeline.html#event-chapin-proposed-that-pathogens-live-in-our-bodies-and-are-transmitted-from-person-to-person

So while there's no "event" with the title of 1910, TimelineJS3 would gain the smarts to know what to do with it.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the historical-timeline.html#1910 URL and inspect TimelineJS3's handling of URL anchors. The work is done when an anchor containing a year such as #1910 resolves to and scrolls to the next matching event, such as the referenced Chapin event.
