As already discussed in bug #135090 (comment number 8 and others) it could be useful to generate -MinIndex and -MaxIndex scalars. It would not be very expensive either, and might even be used to speed up range computations when zooming for instance (though I'm not sure about the latter).
I can add the scalars if you agree, but I don't know where in the code they might be used. And without indexed access into vectors for labels like "Min value: [Vec-Min] obtained at [Time[Vec-MinIndex]]"it might not be very useful from userland...
