Inspired by this MSO question.

This tiny userscript will add a link to the timeline for any post, just below the "favorite question" star button.

Example image:

This is the code:

// ==UserScript==
// @name        Add Timeline Button
// @namespace   none
// @description Adds a "View Timeline" Button to StackOverflow
// @match       http://*.askubuntu.com/questions/*

    }
    $(".favoritecount").after("<a href='" + newuri + "'>View Timeline</a>");
}
