Hannes,
  At present there's not a universal standard for this among all
plugins, it's currently a case-by-case basis.
Some plugins have pure text interfaces and others only have
graphical interfaces. The Timeline plugin is one of the older
ones and I don't think it has a purely text interface currently.
You may wish to ask the Timeline author about doing this by command line:
