Hello,

This is described in the documentation:

https://code.google.com/p/simile-widgets/wiki/Timeline_EventSources

Under "Additional Event Attributes" there is a "link" attribute listed,
which is what you should use to add your URL to the event title.

You specify a 'link' attribute in your event:
<event start="1912' title="Portrait of Pablo Picasso" link="http://www.blahblah.com/pictures/picasso.jpg">

Note that you specify the link url, and not as HTML for an anchor element.

Timeline will automatically check for this and create the link as needed:
(From /api/scripts/sources.js, line 537:)
var divTitle = doc.createElement("div");
var textTitle = doc.createTextNode(title);
if (link != null) {
var a = doc.createElement("a");
a.href = link;
a.appendChild(textTitle);
divTitle.appendChild(a);
} else {
divTitle.appendChild(textTitle);
}

The info bubble will have the value for title as a hyperlink to the url you specify in the link attribute.
