RTC Project tasks and linking

Hello,
I have some questions regarding RTC 3.0 project linking and tasks?
1) Can I link 2 projects in order to have a task in one timeline that has its own separate timeline and subtasks?
2) Can I also have the deliverables of a subtask filter up to the main task in the top level project?
Thanks in advance for your help.

(1) A task is associated with a timeline when it is Planned-For a given
iteration (it is associated with the timeline of that iteration). So
task cannot be in one timeline and have "its own" separate timeline.
But a task can of course have subtasks. But a task in one timeline can
have sub-tasks in a different timeline.
(2) What do you have in mind by "filter up"? In certain plan modes,
you can see all the sub-types of a task, including ones in another
timeline. But those tasks do not contribute to the "progress" or
"load" in the plan in that other timeline.
