Sure, I can see how this would be useful, and could be implemented for a
subset of SXes where the values are pre-computed.  But what should it
display if there is a user-variable in the SX?  Currently, when an SX
with a variable fires, it pops up a dialog and asked the user to fill in
the variable.  But for your suggestion, you're asking to see the SX
before it actually fires -- so the variables aren't being filled out.

Alternatively, you can just tell the SXes to fire up to 300 days in
advance, but then they become "real" transactions and get harder to
hide.
