How to build a form that does a drilldown to events around the selected event timestamp

1 - show a list of results
2 - click on one of them to select the timestamp
3 - populate a panel that will show the events from another search, but look at all events around the time of the selected one.

example : show me events 10 minutes before and after the selected one

see this dashboard.
We use the field "epochtime" (in seconds) from the first table to use as a drilldown condition.
the second panel is populated by a search that uses a subsearch to craft a condition looking 10 minutes earliest and 10 minutes latest around the epochtime
