Yes, you can do this by using a cylindrical mate with cylindrical timeline guides. Note that the tangent mate parts will need to be copied and have an additional slider mate on each of them to allow the "needle" to fit to the timeline. Without this modification, the mates will break.
Note that my modifications to the part studio are level 1, so very rough and proof of concept only. You could probably do this in only a few features once you figure out what is needed.
