Is there a way to capture an on time selection range event of a time range selection of a timelion chart?

I'd like to capture the date range do some additional calculations based on that.

I realize the URL does tell me what's the selected time range... but since I am using timelion in an iframe... how would i be able to capture that updated url?

@Joseph_Mak

short answer is no. Kibana does not provide programmable hooks as part of a public API. This seems a somewhat advanced ER, I'd log it here: [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/new](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/new)
