More in detail, I would like to do a translate animation, but the starting coords are not known before the animation is applied to a control. So I would like the animation to take the coords of the control as starting point.

You can get each animation out of the timeline and adjust them. There are shortcuts for the first and last animation, see [1], and you can just do all the animations in the timeline like this.
Lua Code:
-- Increase the duration of every animation in the timeline by 250ms
for i = 1, timeline:GetNumAnimations() do
local anim = timeline:GetAnimation(i)
anim:SetDuration(anim:GetDuration() + 250)
-- what you can do ofc depends on the type of animation!
end
One way you might use this is by creating the timeline from virtual (the virtual being defined in UI XML), with some placeholder durations/positions/whatever, then fill in the actual values, and then run it. For an example in the wild, which the simpler example above is based on, see [2] (Lua) and [3] (XML). The base duration from the XML is bumped up by 250ms for every instance of the timeline, several of which are started in parallel.
