This is a very good question and it possibly has some relationship to a discussion about cue ranges that we still need to have. I like the idea of realising cue ranges in this way, but I think it may be a larger discussion that involves capturing all the requirements for cue ranges and discussing all the different possibilities of realising them. Were you interested in getting a callback/handler on the captions to also get access to the caption text from JavaScript? Or just to call a specific handles at every caption start, e.g. to display related slides? Cheers, Silvia.
