Interesting question, I can't think how you would do this, so I think the answer is no. At least for now. In the future, Kibana visualizations will work a lot of Canvas elements, being driven by an expression that _can_ fetch and display time data. So while I don't think you can do that today, that functionality is coming and should land in the 7.x line some time. ---
