How would that work? You'd need the Timeout to keep track of the overall Timer wait but if I needed to update a FP Time Remaining string every 100ms or so then I'd almost need a second Timeout to handle that. Unless during the FP update timeout I check the time waiting and see if it has passed the Duration. But in that case how is that different than the polling I'm already doing? I'm not understanding how you'd use the Event Structure.

I envisioned it as replacing the Notifier with a User Event and the Wait on Notification with the Event Structure but if that's the case the Timeout would be used as the entire timing mechanism. How would you be able to also update something at a regular interval before the wait time is finished?

Yep... you're right. It becomes fairly silly. Nevermind.
