In fact this option does make it similar to BrainStorm’s aerial view, except that you have a lot more options in terms of visualisation of outline for both panes.

If you do this with the timeline view in one pane (with “View > Fit to View” on), and outline pane in the other, you could even emulate Grandview’s document window combined with a Brainstorm style aerial view:
