Yes, this is true right now.  I'll add that as a feature request
to our list.  Thanks for the suggestions.  Right now, the best
would be to have two Time/Height displays.  You could undock
them from the Dashboard and use the Edit->Share->Sharing on
option to share the probe points.

You can use the Transect Display to overlay multiple parameters on
a cross section.  See the documentation in the User's Guide:

http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/idv/docs/userguide/ui/TransectViewManager.html

and the Workshop docs:

http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/idv/docs/workshop/page_transectviews.html

for information on using that display.  If you have more questions,
let me know.
